ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - ColoradoDesk -- Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutions, announces it will provide a year of free IT and patch management software to hospitals. The free offer comes at a time when hospitals are especially strained for resources and are under constant threat of cyber-attacks.

Early on in the coronavirus crisis, a promise was made by some ransomware gangs to leave hospitals alone. But in late October, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a warning advisory  regarding ransomware activity targeting health care facilities.

Ransomware and other cyber-attacks have seen a sharp rise this year, and hospitals have been particularly vulnerable since the start of the global pandemic. The CISA alert noted that the number one mitigation for all organizations to protect themselves from cyber-attacks is to "Patch operating systems, software, and firmware as soon as manufacturers release updates."
