Managing Cybersecurity as Digital Care Transformation, Growing Cyber Threats, and Regulatory Changes Converge

Healthcare delivery continues to be driven by the growth of data delivered through wearable and sensory devices. Such devices feed cloud analytic platforms and offer real-time EHR updates that providers and caregivers must be able to access anywhere. Yet, they also allow for more avenues for account and network compromise for threat actors targeting care delivery for ransom. As a result, regulators have increased scrutiny to ensure providers implement best practices to prepare for and respond to cyber incidents and that senior management and Boards understand and mitigate cyber risk. In this session, health system leaders will discuss the following:

• Understanding the consequences of today's virtual care environment and the changing regulations, especially on clinical workflow
• How the current environment impacts the strategic direction of cyber programs
• Key areas and technologies to invest in today to reduce cyber risks
• How to ensure senior management understands how they can help mitigate cyber risk
