July 5th saw a major attack on Managed Service Providers (MSPs), including Kaseya services. MSPs like Kesaya often offer their cloud-based services to several clients in multiple sectors, and Kesaya is no exception. In fact, Kesaya offers specific managed IT resources for healthcare clients, although no information has been released about any affected organizations.

The combination of increased reliance on MSPs and the sensitive nature of healthcare providers make ransomware attacks a real threat, one that your dedicated IT team must consider as part of your cybersecurity and compliance strategy.
