SCHealth eConference: Shoring up security for the sake of patient care and privacy

For nearly two years, health organizations have battled a war on two fronts: a pandemic drained resources and tested infrastructure capabilities, and cybercriminals targeting the most vulnerable in an effort to force a payout. Hospitals, research facilities, and medical providers find themselves scrambling to ensure networks are not vulnerable to ransomware attacks, that operational technology and medical devices don’t introduce unforeseen risks, and that employees don’t fall victim phishing scams that could expose sensitive data or customer information. All this with limited personnel devoted to security, and reliance on legacy technology.

SC Media will host a two day event to dissect the cyber challenges and opportunities facing the health market, bringing together decision makers from across the segments of the market and thought leaders from both research and industry to ultimately assess the current state of information security and where health organizations must focus resources.

Topics will include:

• Business continuity planning amid ransomware threat
• Securing the remote landscape and telehealth
• Risk management policies for medical devices and legacy platforms
• HIPPA compliance requirements for partners
• Security and privacy challenges of interoperability rules
