Description

Health care cybercrime is now a reality. Are you prepared?

Health care organizations are increasingly under attack from cybercriminals seeking to gain access to patient data and to Internet-connected medical devices.

Cybercriminals compromised devices and networks at 375 health care organizations in the United States between September 2012 and October 2013, according to the Health Care Cyberthreat  Report, published by cybersecurity firm Norse Corp. and the SANS Institute, a security research institute. The number includes breaches that resulted in everything from the exposure of patient data to the potential exploitation of radiology imaging software, videoconferencing systems, mail servers and more.

Join us for a one-hour webinar offering California-focused case studies of what can go wrong, how to respond to consumers, regulatory investigations, fines and disruption of business. The session will offer information on cyber insurance coverage and other safeguards.

Primary Audience: Executive teams, risk management and compliance executives, Chief Financial Officers, Information Technology Directors
