Business continuity and patient safety:
What if EHR downtime was a thing of the past?
As hospital and health system leaders expand their digitization efforts, reliable, secure solutions that protect electronic health record (EHR) infrastructure are essential.

Safeguard Epic EHR access
during disruptions
Ransomware attacks can halt healthcare operations, jeopardize patient data, and devastate revenue.
Ensure uninterrupted access to your Epic systems with a cloud-based isolated recovery environment (IRE), the Epic-recommended solution for robust cyber resilience.
Staggering statistics show the gravity of cyberattacks for patients, clinicians, and providers:
- In 2024, 181 confirmed ransomware attacks on healthcare organizations impacted 25.6 million records.
- The average ransom demand was $5.7 million, and the average ransom paid was $900,000.
- On average, U.S. healthcare organizations lose $1.9 million per day to downtime from ransomware events.
