It’s been three months since a nationwide ransomware attack disrupted systems at the Ascension Hospital Network, and things at Ascension Via Christi hospital in Manhattan are back to normal.
Bob Copple, president of Ascension Via Christi Manhattan, said his location managed the aftermath of the attack smoothly because it didn’t experience issues as severe as some other Ascension hospitals.
“We have a lot of safeguards in place for our system, and we’re still adding more layers,” Copple said. “I think in our particular case, we did not have the same issues that our colleagues had.”
