With the rise of digital health tools, electronic health records (EHRs), and interconnected systems, safeguarding patient information has never been more important. The speaker will discuss emerging threats, common vulnerabilities in healthcare IT infrastructure, and best practices for preventing cyberattacks. Additionally, the talk will cover practical strategies for healthcare organizations to build resilient security frameworks that ensure patient trust, compliance with regulations, and robust defense mechanisms against cyber threats.
