The Challenge
At 2:14 AM on a Saturday, ransomware encrypted 340 servers across 8 hospital campuses, shutting down the electronic health records system and forcing all 3 emergency departments to divert ambulances. The attackers demanded $4.2M in cryptocurrency and threatened to leak 2.1M patient records.
Our Solution
Briskinfosec's IR team was on-site within 4 hours under our pre-arranged retainer. We isolated the threat, identified the initial access vector (compromised VPN credential), preserved forensic evidence under legal privilege, and coordinated with the FBI. Our team deployed clean backup restoration in parallel with forensic investigation, prioritizing ER systems first.
