October 12th at 1pm EST — Join First Health’s CSO, Will Long, and FBI Agent, Elvis Chan for insights on the health sector’s top cyber threats, common gaps and vulnerabilities, and using the Department of Health and Human Services 405(d) Task Group’s Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) framework to ensure basic security standards are met.
Healthcare’s threat landscape is always evolving, but the rate of targeted attacks has remained consistently high for several years. Many provider organizations are simply unable or unwilling to adapt to the changes necessary to support effective remediation. Ransomware, insiders (employees), and extortion are among the top threats facing provider organizations, made possible by incomplete device inventories, security gaps, staffing shortages, and other threats. To reduce risk, the latest update to the Department of Health and Human Services 405(d) Task Group Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) imparts that its 10 prioritized practices are mission critical: This includes MFA adoption, Endpoint Protection & Monitoring, Email Defense, and Tested Backups. Join First Health to understand the leading threats facing healthcare organizations today, the most common gaps that contribute to these vulnerabilities, and how the 405d HICP framework and its tailored best practices can jumpstart the process of becoming more proactive while building a more robust cyber posture.
This HICP webinar will open with a pulse check on the current threats facing healthcare, led by Elvis Chan, Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) assigned to FBI San Francisco. ASAC Chan manages the field office’s Cyber Branch, which is responsible for cyber investigations, digital forensics, technical operations, private sector engagement and community outreach. With 18 years in the Bureau, he is a decorated agent who is recognized within the Intelligence Community as an election cybersecurity and cyberterrorism expert. The opening presentation will be followed by an overview of HICP by First Health Advisory’s Chief Security Officer Will Long, who’ll detail the role HICP can plan in planning, executing, and remediating risk mitigation across the healthcare enterprise.
