In this session, we will try to understand and answer the question about why healthcare practitioners are particularly prone to attacks from cyber criminals? What are the relevant cyber security and privacy regulatory requirements impacting medical and dental practice and how can you ensure your practice is and remains compliant?
Historically the healthcare sector has maintained a solid record of protecting patients' confidential information, however the rapid rise in digitisation and the increase in cyber risk exposure has meant that many healthcare practitioners feel overwhelmed keeping up the pace with compliance regulations. The lack of education, knowledge and technical comprehension can leave some healthcare practitioners exposed and at risk of hefty fines and legal action if found in breach of regulations.
With the aid of case studies, we will provide an introduction to understanding why healthcare practices can be targeted that will help healthcare practitioners understand privacy requirements, how to implement them in digital practice and how future regulations are likely to impact practitioners.
