Your files are encrypted. Your patient data is gone. Your reputation—the one you spent 20 years building—just got destroyed in 20 minutes.
You arrive at 7:30 AM. The office is quiet. You walk to your private office to check emails before the day starts.
Your computer screen is black. Except for white text.
Your stomach drops. Your hands are shaking.
You check the server. Encrypted.
You check the front desk computer. Encrypted.
You check the backup drive. Encrypted.
Your entire patient database. 15 years of clinical notes. Every x-ray. Every treatment plan. Every payment record. Gone.
The first call is to your IT guy. He's never seen this before. He doesn't know what to do.
The second call is to your malpractice attorney. She tells you this is a HIPAA breach. You're required by federal law to notify every affected patient within 60 days.
3,200 patients.
3,200 letters explaining that their Social Security numbers, health information, and treatment records may have been stolen by criminals.
The breach notification letters cost $4,800 to print and mail.
The HIPAA fine is $50,000. That's the minimum for willful neglect—which is what they call it when you don't have proper security in place.
The local news picks up the story. The Dothan Eagle runs a headline: "Local Dental Practice Hit by Cyberattack, Patient Data Compromised."
Your phone starts ringing. Patients calling to cancel. Patients calling to demand their records. Patients calling just to yell.
Your reputation took 20 years to build. It took 20 minutes to destroy.
And the worst part?
It was preventable.
The ransomware got in through an unpatched Windows vulnerability. A vulnerability that Microsoft fixed three months ago. Your IT guy just never installed the update.
Don't let this happen to your practice.
Start Free MonitoringYou're asleep. Your practice is dark. But our monitoring system isn't.
It detects unusual network activity. Files being accessed in a pattern that doesn't match normal use. Encryption processes starting on the server.
Our automated system immediately isolates the affected machine from the network. The ransomware can't spread.
Our on-call technician gets an alert. He's reviewing the situation within 3 minutes.
The affected workstation is completely wiped and restored from last night's backup. The ransomware is gone. Your data is safe. The attack is over.
Total downtime: 0 minutes. Total data loss: 0 files. Total patient notifications required: 0.
You never even knew it happened. Until we sent you a report Monday morning.
You arrive at 7:30 AM. Everything is running. Your staff is logged in. Patients are checking in.
You check your email and see our incident report: "Ransomware attempt detected and neutralized at 2:14 AM Saturday. No data compromised. No action required."
You pour your coffee. You see your first patient. You never think about it again.
That's the difference between reactive IT and proactive protection. One costs you everything. The other costs you $199/user/month.
We watch your network around the clock. Unusual activity triggers immediate alerts and automated responses.
Security patches installed within 48 hours of release. No more "we'll get to it later" vulnerabilities.
