This week in health IT news, cybersecurity makes a splash as Forcepoint announces their latest Advanced Malware Detection (AMD) cloud service alongside the release of their new unified software for firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS).

Cybersecurity Discussed at Tabor Communications Inaugural Event

About 50 technology leaders from across industries got an exclusive glimpse into the intersection of big data and high performance computing during Tabor Communications’ inaugural Leverage Big Data + Enterprise High Performance Computing (LBD + EHPC) recent event in Florida. The event included companies such as Erickson, Cummins, Samsung, and UnitedHealth Group.

A new version of the Stampado ransomware called Philadelphia has started being sold for just a few hundred dollars to cyber criminals looking to steal data with little cost and complexity.

Unfortunately the ransomware has already been used to infect hospitals in Oregon and Southwest Washington, Dela Paz said. Read the full story here.

Cybersecurity Attacks Hit 87% of Organizations in 2016

There is no doubt cyber crime — including ransomware attacks – is up, but the good news is organizations realize the need to take action. A recent report found the majority of IT professionals said their entity was affected by a cybersecurity attack in 2016, with half expecting to raise their security budgets. According to a recent Bitglass report, one in three respondents said had been hacked more than five times in the past 12 months, and over half of respondents also said that their entity planned to increase their overall security budgets this year.
