The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be implementing sweeping and crucial updates to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule to enhance the protection of electronic protected health information (ePHI). These changes aim to address modern cybersecurity threats and ensure resilience in healthcare data management. In this blog, we will explore the key updates and their implications for healthcare providers and their business associates.

Trustwave MailMarshal fortified its position as a leading secure email gateway by being named a Top Player in Radicati’s Secure Email Market Quadrant 2025 report. This is the second consecutive year that Radicati has recognized Trustwave MailMarshal for its ability to protect organizations from email-based attacks.

Organizations today face an array of cyber-security challenges. While external threat actors, such as nation-states and cyber-criminals, account for a significant portion of these attacks, a critical and often overlooked vulnerability exists within business walls: the insider threat. An insider threat refers to a cyber-threat originating from within the organization. This internal risk factor, though less sensationalized, presents a significant risk to an organization’s security posture.

An investigation that started with a tip from one of our threat intel sources about the revival of the Babuk (figure 1) threat group has led Trustwave SpiderLabs to uncover what appears to be a paradigm shift in the ransomware landscape.

Organizations must develop robust programs to manage supply chain risks, both known and unknown, while prioritizing their most critical assets. Often referred to as the "crown jewels", these assets are the most valuable and vital to business success. Supply chain attacks exploit vulnerabilities in the network of suppliers, distributors, and other third-party partners to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems.

The best way to gauge the current state of an organization’s security posture is often with a blunt lesson, and a Red Team exercise might be the bluntest way to rip off the band-aid to see what security problems exist. That concept is the genesis behind the Trustwave SpiderLabs report Healthcare Sector Deep Dive: Unmasking Security Gaps.

Ransomware remains the primary threat the healthcare industry faces. However, threat actors do have a preference when it comes to which segment to attack. Trustwave SpiderLabs’ just released Healthcare Sector Deep Dive: Ransomware Trends and Impact, examines which healthcare sub-industries attract the most attention from threat actors, breaks down which adversarial groups conduct the attacks, and the impact specific attacks had on their victims.

The healthcare industry, with its highly prized electronic health records, a myriad of connected devices, continued use of legacy systems, and expanding telehealth services, is a premier target for threat actors. To properly dissect the issues facing the healthcare industry, Trustwave SpiderLabs has updated its earlier healthcare cybersecurity coverage with the just-released 2025 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Healthcare Sector - A New Era of Cybersecurity Challenges.

The healthcare industry, with its vast repository of electronic health records, a growing network of connected devices, reliance on legacy systems, and expanding telehealth solutions, continues to be a prime target for cyber threats. To provide deeper insights into these evolving risks, Trustwave SpiderLabs has expanded its healthcare cybersecurity research with the newly released 2025 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Healthcare Sector - A New Era of Cybersecurity Challenges.

On March 20, a relatively unknown user on Breach Forums posted the allegation that Oracle had suffered a data breach. According to published reports, the attacker claimed that 6 million customer records were exfiltrated from Oracle's SSO and LDAP systems. The threat actor behind the post is allegedly offering to sell the data, providing multiple purchasing options based on company name, hashed credentials, and other sensitive information.
