IP Performance CISO Phil Cracknell interviewed on current HSE hack
IP Performance were contacted on Friday 14th May by the Irish Examiner for insight into the unfortunate situation at Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE).
As established incident responders, and with a wide range of skills, knowledge and experience on the subject, IPP were able to give some context as to what the HSE might be going through right now.
There is a significant ransomware attack on the HSE IT systems. We have taken the precaution of shutting down all our our IT systems in order to protect them from this attack and to allow us fully assess the situation with our own security partners.

Our CISO Phil Cracknell added after the interview that IPP’s Cyber Breach Workshop, which is now running virtually each month, has already seen an increase in interest from our customers. Organisations don’t want to find themselves in the situation that HSE Ireland are in right now and should an organisation suffer a cyber breach, they know where they can find expert help to assist. Our interview touched upon some of the how’s and why’s of the breach. Read the full article here:

I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank IP Performance for all your help and guidance during our recent upgrade project. Upgrading all three of our production clusters was a huge undertaking, especially with the amount of traffic they serve and thousands of services they deliver. Achieving this with zero downtime was no small feat and your expertise and quick responses were absolutely crucial in making it happen. It really felt like you were part of our team throughout this process and were more than just providing support but indeed kind of taking ownership of all the challenges and issues we had during this migration which we couldn’t have done as smoothly without your support.
