Anthem’s breach may have exposed more than 80 million customer records. Could this have been avoided? Is your organization at risk?

Sponsored by Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Southern California and the Los Angeles Chapter of Information Systems Security Association (ISSA), the event brings together leaders in privacy, security and risk management within government and private industry for a day of collaboration, networking and presentations by leading privacy and security experts.

The forum provides an opportunity to learn how your peers are handling important privacy and security concerns in response to the increasing number and sophistication of data breaches. What are they doing about other important issues such as compliance and mobile device security?

Personal health records have become prime targets for cyber-criminals. Cybercriminal attacks on health care organizations have doubled in the past three years, according to the 2014 Ponemon Report on Patient Privacy & Data Security. Dark Reading reported in October 2014 that “credit cards can now go for a dollar or less on the black market, but stolen health credentials may sell for as high as $10 per patient.”

Highlights for the June 4 event include a federal investigator from the Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights who will share guidance on breach investigations as well as the latest breach reporting requirements. Learn from security experts and law enforcement professionals about best practices for strengthening your defenses.
