Cyber threats against healthcare organizations continue to escalate, with hospitals and medical facilities facing persistent attacks from cybercriminals seeking to exploit highly sensitive patient data. In response, Commvault has announced at the HIMSS25 global health conference that its latest cyber resilience and recovery technologies can be used to rapidly restore Electronic Health Records (EHR), including those in Epic and Meditech environments. This innovation comes at a critical time when more than 31 million patient records have already been exposed in breaches during the first half of 2024 alone, with cumulative cyberattack costs on U.S. healthcare institutions exceeding $21.9 billion since 2018. While healthcare providers cannot always prevent attacks, they can enhance their ability to recover quickly and ensure uninterrupted patient care.
Commvault’s Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind solutions address these challenges by providing advanced recovery options that restore critical patient records, applications, and configurations at speed. Cleanroom Recovery creates a ransomware-free, air-gapped environment in the cloud, allowing for the secure restoration of medical data without risk of reinfection. This proactive approach enables healthcare organizations to test their recovery plans in advance, ensuring that they can resume operations efficiently following a cyber incident. Meanwhile, Cloud Rewind offers near-instant rollback capabilities, allowing healthcare providers to automatically discover, protect, and recover entire EHR environments. By integrating these tools, hospitals can maintain operational continuity and comply with evolving HIPAA guidelines while reinforcing their cyber resilience strategies.
Built on Microsoft Azure, Commvault’s cyber resilience solutions leverage cloud-native architecture to provide robust protection for healthcare organizations. Microsoft’s Director of Global Healthcare Security & Compliance Strategy, David Houlding, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, highlighting the role of cloud-powered cyber resilience in protecting patient data and minimizing downtime. Healthcare providers, such as Sonic Healthcare USA, have expressed confidence in Commvault’s ability to mitigate ransomware threats and maintain uninterrupted patient care.
Healthcare professionals attending HIMSS25 in Las Vegas from March 3-6 can explore Commvault’s cyber resilience technologies firsthand through live demonstrations at booth #C1027. These sessions will showcase how Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind can transform cyber resilience strategies, helping hospitals and medical facilities safeguard their critical operations in an increasingly volatile threat landscape.
