Strategic Cybersecurity and Risk Issues for Health Care Leaders in a COVID-19 World
ASHRM On-Demand Webinar
Speaker: John Riggi
This presentation will discuss cyber risk and how it has the potential to affect all aspects of a health care enterprise.
Now, more than ever, as our response to COVID-19 has necessitated a great expansion of on-site and remote network connected technologies, hospital and health leaders need to understand the technical, operational and enterprise cyber risks present in this environment and the potential impact to their organizations.
Objectives:
- • Discuss how cyber risk goes far beyond being an “IT” issue and how cyber risk manifests itself as operational risk, enterprise risk and strategic risk to the organization – and most importantly, how cyber risk may be a risk to patient care and safety
- • Identify the nature of the threat, the techniques and motivations of sophisticated cyber criminals and nation state adversaries who are stealing patient data, medical research and deploying ransomware
- • Discuss how to prepare and respond to a cyber incident including a ransomware attack which may interrupt patient care operations and pose a risk to patient safety
