The health care sector is being broadsided by cyberattacks on all fronts, impacting everything from patient care to critical supplies, finances, patient data and more. Today’s complex and rapidly evolving cyberthreat landscape demands that health care leaders and executives adopt impactful cyber security strategies to reduce risk across all operational areas.
Join us for a deep-dive discussion among top health care field leaders and executives on these issues and how to maintain continuity of care during the critical first 30 days after a cybersecurity breach. Our panel will address:
Current cybercrime threats and challenges. Learn what data give cybercriminals the strongest leverage for financial and political gain and why they increasingly are targeting the supply chain. Explore how adversaries are using artificial intelligence in credential-based attacks and why hospital staffs are vulnerable to unintentional insider threats.
Prioritizing and funding cybersecurity initiatives. Examine the long-term repercussions of underinvestment in cybersecurity and how to prioritize investments to eliminate technical debt and address vulnerabilities. Learn key considerations for balancing investments in new technologies versus existing systems.
Risk-assessment considerations in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Identify key cybersecurity considerations during the due-diligence phase of health care M&As. Explore how to ensure seamless and secure systems integration during M&A transitions.
Cyber resilience and recovery. Assess your organization’s cyber resilience level and ability to recover from an attack. Learn best practices to ensure quick recovery with minimal disruption after a cyberattack.
Learning objectives:
- To identify cybersecurity threats to hospitals and health systems and develop comprehensive response strategies.
- To develop priorities and ensure proper funding for cybersecurity initiatives.
- To proactively address cybersecurity risk considerations before, during and after a merger or acquisition.
- To benefit from the collective insights of frontline technology leaders who have successfully responded to cyberthreats.
- To build greater organizational resiliency to minimize disruption from a cyberattack and speed recovery.
