Across a health system’s digital terrain, the most vulnerable assets are connected medical devices. If those devices become compromised, the infiltration could impact a patient’s privacy, health and safety. Moreover, it could shut down care delivery for days, weeks or longer, with long-lasting financial and reputational impacts. According to Deloitte, an estimated 70% of medical devices will be connected by 2023.

With cybersecurity asset compliance, it’s not enough to ensure your systems and processes are operating in accordance with security frameworks and regulations. Unless you can prove compliance, you’re still subject to failed audits and penalties. When you automate cybersecurity device assessment and policy enforcement with Forescout, passing compliance audits becomes a byproduct of security operations.

In a new threat briefing report, Vedere Labs analyzes the behavior of the Night Sky malware on two samples, presents a list of IoCs extracted from the analysis and discusses mitigation. The Night Sky ransomware was first reported on January 1, 2022. Victims were asked to contact the attackers to pay for the ransom. If the victims refused to pay, attackers threatened to expose their data on a leak site.
