Understandably ransomware seems to be the most desirable type of these attacks, where heavy reliance on data through networked systems and the privacy requirements of that data are paramount. More recently Healthcare data centers have had attacks occur on their foundational technology, on server motherboard firmware. In order to prevent such cyberattacks through firmware, healthcare providers should incorporate a firmware resiliency or platform root of trust (PRoT) solution to create a chain of trust for higher layers of the IT stack by detecting, protecting, and recovering device firmware to a trusted state.
