Helping Healthcare Organizations Be Resilient to Disasters & Ransomware
Disasters, whether human-made or natural are unavoidable, so planning for them is critical to ensuring delivery of care and services, regardless of the situation. Most organizations are more aware of and planning for high-profile data breaches and ransomware but many are not prepared for the most common types of disasters and human errors. In the healthcare industry, where every second is critical, IT downtime can impact data access and cause interruptions in operational and clinical performance system-wide, resulting in patients not receiving the care they need when they need it. Additionally, the impact to revenue and reputation can be nearly-impossible to overcome. This session will outline common IT disasters, provide guidance on mitigating and responding to those disasters, and also being prepared for the high profile disasters, such as data breaches and ransomware.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the most common security risks in an organization
- Discuss resiliency and explore more resilient options for preparing for and mitigating risks
- Learn how a hospital has started its journey to be more resilient to disasters (use case)
