Adversaries have gained a foothold in your local hospital and are increasing their control over clinical systems and medical devices. Soon they make it clear they’re not after patient records or financial information, but are out to disrupt care delivery and put patients' lives at risk. Your team received an urgent request to use your blue, red, and purple team skills to defend against the escalating attacks, attempt to unmask the adversary, and - above all - protect patient lives.
