Speaker: Fernando Martinez, Ph.D., President, Texas Hospital Association Foundation/Chief Strategy Officer/Chief Digital Officer, Austin
This timely webinar for health care leaders is a discussion on current security threats and typical organizational solutions for countering those threats. Through a review of current cyber incidents, participants will gain an understanding of why, despite well-designed countermeasures, security incidents and breaches continue to occur. During the session the phrase “best-effort security” will be defined, how “best-effort” leads to security failures, and four areas of focus that will help any organization move from “best-effort” to “effective security.”
Learning objectives – Using recent cyber incidents as examples, attendees will be able to:
- Contrast between security measures that work as intended and those that fail and associated consequences;
- Accurately describe what “best-effort security” means in practical terms and explain the difference between “best-effort” security and “effective security”; and
- Explain four areas of IT security to focus on in order to strengthen organizational security posture.
