The Dental Amigos host Gary Salman, Chief Executive Officer of Black Talon Security, to discuss how dental practice owners can prevent cyberattacks and protect their data. Black Talon is a cybersecurity consulting firm that focuses on the dental industry.

Now more than ever dentists have to consider how they can protect themselves and their practices from sophisticated hackers who steal patient data and install dangerous malware. Without proper safeguards, practice owners can find themselves having to shell out millions of dollars in payments and shut down for weeks or even months.

In this episode, the Amigos and Gary discuss how tools like predictive threat intelligence can help protect dental practice computers. They talk about the differences between an IT company and a cybersecurity company. And finally, the team explains why practice owners should educate their employees to create a human firewall that prevents malicious actors from accessing their computers.
