Stryker has contained its network disruption following a March 11 cyberattack, the company said March 23.
“We believe the incident is contained, and we are prioritizing restoration of systems that directly support customers, ordering and shipping,” Stryker said in an update. “Our internal teams, in partnership with third-party experts, reacted quickly to not only regain access but to remove the unauthorized party from our environment.”
