Advances in technology have transformed the healthcare industry’s delivery of healthcare.

This session will discuss the cyber risks healthcare organizations face, the duties they have to protect the security of data and the consequences for failure to fulfill these obligations, as well as mechanisms available to assist healthcare organizations in managing their cyber security risks.
