On Saturday, July 25th, our local hospital experienced a cyber-attack. Samaritan Medical Center had to shut down its entire computer system. Therefore, employees have to return to paper and pen to operate. Patients are still being taken care of, and the hospital expects to reschedule patient procedures that have been deemed non-urgent.
Hospital Impact
The size of the attack is unknown; however, the impact on the hospital and personal information has been minimal. Cyber attacks are avoidable if you have robust cybersecurity, awareness, and know the cybersecurity best practices.
At CREG Systems, we believe that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. In other words, we all play a part in keeping our networks safe. Organizations, their leaders, users, and the solutions provider all work together to manage your cybersecurity.
Multi-Layered Security
We recommend a multi-layered approach to your network and data security. A multi-layered security approach uses several security measures to protect essential information. The numerous “levels” of security make it difficult for hackers to get through every barrier. For instance, a hacker may get past the spam filter on your email, but cannot get through the antivirus software.
We offer cybersecurity services to businesses that assist in the education of employees and mitigate cybersecurity risks

Many businesses do not believe that they are a potential target of cybercrime. Personal information is not limited to your basic social security number or credit card information. For instance, it can include recipes as a restaurant owner all the way to market strategies. To find out why you could be at risk of a cyberattack, watch our webinar on cybersecurity!
