Strengthening Hospital Cybersecurity: From Crisis Response to Collective Resilience

Client Type: Statewide hospital association

Challenge:
Ransomware attacks had driven up insurance premiums and threatened coverage for member hospitals. The association needed a plan to protect members and restore insurer confidence.

Approach:
Combining HBG’s healthcare insight with Atumcell’s cybersecurity expertise, we assessed insurer requirements, benchmarked peer initiatives, and interviewed brokers, carriers, CIOs, and vendors. We outlined service models including education, pooled purchasing, and a statewide Security Operations Center (SOC) and prepared a CEO-level presentation to guide board decisions.

Impact:
The engagement produced a comprehensive strategy for a statewide cybersecurity initiative. The plan aligned technical leaders and CEOs, laying the groundwork for a sustainable new line of business.

Why It Matters:
Cyber risk is now a board-level issue. HBG helps healthcare leaders design solutions that satisfy insurers, regulators, and front-line operators alike.

Thumbnail Summary: Amid soaring ransomware losses, a state hospital association engaged HBG and Atumcell to craft a collaborative cybersecurity strategy to reduce insurance risk and created a sustainable new service line.
