CISA urges companies to secure Microsoft Intune systems after hackers mass-wipe Stryker devices

Hackers breached a major U.S. medical-technology company and remotely wiped thousands of employee phones and computers. The U.S. cybersecurity agency urged firms to block access to systems used for remote device management, heightening sector-wide cyber risk for healthcare and enterprise IT and likely increasing demand for endpoint security and incident response services. The breach raises potential remediation, regulatory and reputational costs for the affected company and could pressure peers with similar remote-management exposures.
