Overview of the webinar
Ransomware is malicious, criminal software that targets critical electronic health information systems maintained by a Covered Entity (Health Care Provider, Health Plan or Health Care Clearinghouse) or a Business Associate for the purpose of extortion. It is the fastest growing and most dangerous threat to the security of health information in the United States. The US Department of Justice reports more than 4,000 Ransomware attacks have occurred daily since January 1, 2016 – a 300% increase from 1,000 daily attacks in 2015.

Why should you attend?
The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services says a Ransomware attack that encrypts Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI) maintained by a Covered Entity or Business Associate is presumed to be a HIPAA Breach – unless the victimized organization can demonstrate under the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule that there was only a “low probability of compromise” to the EPHI.
Attend this webinar to learn how to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from a Ransomware attack in compliance with the HIPAA Rules.
