Cybersecurity concerns in the digital transformation of healthcare institutions
In the first half of 2025, several hospitals were repeatedly attacked by ransomware such as Crazy Hunter, causing personal data leaks, medical service interruptions, and even damaging hospital reputations. This raised red flags for healthcare cybersecurity. In response, the Ministry of Health and Welfare released the "Hospital Response Guide to Ransomware Attacks," while the National Institute of Cyber Security announced that it will strengthen internal network security inspections in hospitals starting this year. Since hospitals hold vast amounts of sensitive patient health records, clinical data, and lab reports, enhancing cybersecurity resilience, enforcing risk management, and strengthening sensitive data governance have become new trends in modernizing healthcare.
Challenges in healthcare data governance
Burden from attacks and system maintenance
- Difficulties in maintenance and scalability
- Frequent cyberattacks targeting sensitive data
- Lack of backup and redundancy mechanisms
Intra-hospital file access permission control
- Secure account and login mechanisms
- Role-based access management requirements
- Risks associated with SMB transmission
Hidden vulnerabilities in external file exchange
- Early-stage ransomware attack detection
- FTP transmission with restrictions
- Prevent theft by malicious actors
Cybersecurity evaluation requirements
- Complete recording of all file activities
- Sensitive data protection mechanisms
- Cybersecurity assessments for evaluations

Benefits of healthcare applications
Comprehensive access control while ensuring efficiency and security in medical data exchange
Building a flexible and modern architecture to create a usable and user-friendly environment
Medical data is vast and diverse, growing exponentially every year, and medical institutions are required to retain medical records for at least seven years, resulting in significant data accumulation. Traditional storage architectures are limited by hardware constraints, making management and scaling complex. Leveraging OmniStor’s software-defined distributed storage advantages, institutions can build a highly scalable modern architecture without hardware lock-in, enabling healthcare teams to reliably and easily access the resources needed for diagnosis and research.
Integrating branch medical data to provide a consistent and high-speed access experience
Healthcare institutions often operate multiple campuses without dedicated IT staff for storage management, and limited bandwidth between branches creates major challenges for shared data access and exchange. OmniStor helps IT units consolidate dispersed medical resources through a unified platform, meeting the needs of medical education, clinical diagnosis, and research. It can also integrate with medical imaging systems to establish cross-domain backup and recovery mechanisms, significantly reducing management burdens.
