Overview of the webinar

In recent years, healthcare institutions and other organizations have been bombarded from every direction by hackers. The flashiest of these threats come in the form of ransomware – where hackers lock users out of their information systems and threaten to destroy that information unless they are paid some exorbitant amount of money. Even if an organization can manage to pull together the money to meet the demand, the damage to its brand alone could be devastating.
In this presentation, Ms. Jacobs will guide attendees through the maze of regulations that govern the confidentiality and security of protected health information and other sensitive business information and explore tools organizations can use to protect themselves from ransomware and similar threats. Emphasis will be placed on the recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights on ransomware.

Who should attend?

  • Hospital executives, particularly CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CMOs, CCOs and CTOs/CIOs
  • Compliance professionals

  • Executives of organizations that act as Business Associates

Why should you attend?

If your organization stores any information on an electronic platform, or has access to the electronic information of a healthcare provider, care must be taken to ensure that you do not run afoul of the rules and regulations that govern the confidentiality and security of patient health information. Attend this webinar and learn how to protect your organization from ransomware attacks and similar cybersecurity threats.
