How to identify the holes that could leave you open to a data breach;
Key steps to ensure preparedness;

Important first steps in the face of a security incident.

Background

Healthcare organizations are receiving heightened attention from regulatory bodies, who are increasingly enforcing penalties for data breaches.

While the majority of reported incidents concern lost or stolen devices, and unauthorized internal access to medical records, it's the external data breaches that have made the headlines in 2014. Notable incidents include:

Montana Dept, of Health and Human Services - where hackers gained access to a server containing data on an estimated 1.3 million individuals
Community Health Systems Inc - where a network breach exposed personal data of an estimated 4.5 million people.

These incidents represent a trend that has caught the attention of healthcare security leaders nationwide. External attacks are on the rise, and healthcare organizations need to be prepared to defend against sophisticated cybercriminals who seek critical medical data to commit fraud or turn a profit.

In this session, healthcare breach experts will lead you through a discussion of the top risks and how to mitigate them.
