It’s All About the Data: A Simple Approach to Addressing the Complex Challenges of Cybersecurity

August 12, 2021

Course description

Data is vital in today’s economy and society, and this is particularly true of the healthcare sector. Our transactions – financial, medical and others – are fueled by a river of data from which we extract information and intelligence. The complexities of protecting this data may seem daunting – particularly in the midst of shifting norms being driven by a pandemic. In reality, though, we can protect our data by implementing simple “cyber hygiene” practices in our organizations. This presentation will outline a “back-to-basics” approach that will enhance the security of any healthcare organization’s data and data-driven processes.

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this learning activity, participants will be able to:

  • Summarize the relationship between data, information and intelligence
  • Describe how COVID-19 increased the attack surface and created new threat vectors in healthcare
  • Identify good “cyber hygiene” strategies that can lead to significant improvements in your cyber posture
