Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

Kroll, a global leader in computer forensics, secure information services and data breach response, will host an October 12 webcast titled “How to Avoid the Data Breach Hot Seat.” In this live webcast, industry experts will provide an audience of privacy, compliance and security officers, IT professionals, legal counsel and C-suite executives with practical advice on safeguarding patient information across the continuum of care.

Cyber criminals have targeted the healthcare industry for a long time, and they’ve become quite adept at infiltrating organizational networks – often staying there without detection for months or even years. As you move toward virtualization of patient data to support efficient delivery of care, it’s more critical than ever to embrace security protocols that extend your defense beyond the perimeter.
