Ahead of the Threat: Your Role in Cybersecurity
Presented by David Miller

As presented at HBMA's 2024 Fall Conference September 17th-19th, 2024.

Description: 
In this session, we will delve into the critical importance of cybersecurity in healthcare organizations. The threat landscape continues to evolve, and we need to be ever vigilant against threats that come from ever-more sophisticated, malicious actors. As of May 20, 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights (OCR), lists over 900 open cases on the OCR breach site - 284 opened this year alone. The number will surely rise. This session will explore why healthcare organizations are attractive targets for bad actors, provide an overview of the top cyber threats, and discuss mitigation strategies all of us can participate in to protect patient data, reputation, and revenue.
