Description
Health care providers have become prime targets of cyber criminals,
since they hold a treasure trove of irresistible data, including social
security numbers and medical records (think access to prescription
painkillers). As cyber criminals become more sophisticated, medical
practices are more vulnerable than ever.
Learn how to protect you and your practice, and how to effectively respond if you do fall victim. Attendees will learn:
- What a data breach is
- Its economic impact
