What are the core challenges your customers are having to overcome in the face of the pandemic While healthcare institutions are grappling with the ability to deliver care during the pandemic, many are also fighting a second battle against hackers. We have seen a large surge in ransomware attacks targeting healthcare delivery organizations.
