HIMSS has announced that the SANS Institute will be offering a six-hour Cyber-Hygiene workshop at their Boston Privacy & Security Forum this December, rounding out an action-packed agenda that spans three days and nearly every privacy and security pain-point healthcare organizations are facing today. With speakers ranging from top government advisors to award-winning researchers to experienced payer and provider CISOs, the event will equip senior healthcare IT leaders with the strategies and technologies they need to safeguard their data against both internal and external threats.
The SANS Workshop, entitled “Implementing Healthcare Cyber-Hygiene with the Critical Security Controls,” will offer up-to-the-minute direction and guidance as to which actions should be prioritized first in today’s ever-evolving landscape of risk. Rapidly becoming accepted as the most recognized action plan to secure organizations, the SANS Institute’s Critical Security Controls were selected and defined by the US military, as well as other respected security experts in government and private organizations. Attendees will receive information on actual attacks that could have been stopped or mitigated through implementing good cyber-hygiene practices, while focusing on not only the best way to block known cyber-attacks but also best practices on mitigating the damage from attempted cyber-attacks.
The workshop will be offered as a supplement to HIMSS three-day Privacy & Security Forum beginning in Boston on December 1, 2015, which is quickly shaping up to be the must-attend event for healthcare IT executives this year. Speakers include:
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Richard Clarke, Former Special Advisor on Cyber Security to the President of the United States
James Trainor, Assistant Director, Cyber Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation
Ron Ross, Fellow, NIST
FEATURED SPEAKERS
