Technology is the backbone of most business operations, and staying ahead of cyber security trends is key. Even if you do not completely understand the need for cyber security consulting services, the necessity for such services has been highlighted by the recent ransomware attack on OneBlood.
NBC 6 reached out to TJ at CPT of South Florida for comments about the recent cyberattack.

The Impact of Ransomware Attacks
OneBlood is a critical blood donation center in the Southeast, providing hospitals with life-saving blood supplies essential for patient care and emergency treatments. The recent ransomware attack that occurred at the end of July 2024 impacted blood labeling services, which affected the operations of 75 hospitals across South Florida.
The disruption caused by this attack is a sobering reminder of the potential consequences of inadequate cyber security measures, and the need to continuously update and strengthen defenses against ever-evolving threats.
As our VP at CPT of South Florida pointed out, TJ Spohn, cyber attacks have evolved far beyond the simple email phishing schemes of the past. Today, attackers use sophisticated methods to infiltrate systems, and as Sphohn states, “you can literally type into a website and mistype a word and get into a bad website”.
Cyber Security Solutions
Organizations must implement comprehensive cyber security solutions to protect against these evolving threats. This includes having robust backup systems that are off-site and air-gapped to ensure data can be restored in the event of an attack.
Cyber security consulting services are vital in helping businesses navigate these challenges, providing expert guidance on the latest threats and the most effective defenses. These services offer expert advice on the latest security trends and help organizations implement the most effective measures to protect their data.
The case of OneBlood, the attack disrupted critical operations and potentially endangered lives by delaying blood processing. For any business, a cyber attack can lead to significant operational disruptions and damage to its reputation. By staying ahead of cyber security trends, your company can avoid these pitfalls and ensure smooth, uninterrupted operations.
