Presentation recording and slides from 1/23/18 webinar.

Ransomware continues to plague healthcare and the situation is becoming more dangerous as cybercriminals move towards increasingly sophisticated forms of cryptographic malware to carry out targeted attacks. The 2016 HIMSS Cybersecurity Survey showed healthcare still lags behind other industries in deploying commonly accepted security technology. Join us to hear a CISO’s practical guide to prioritizing security investments and building a proven cyber awareness training plan and learn how to work with governing committees and boards to implement a holistic security architecture. 

Speakers:

• Ryan Witt, Healthcare Industry Practice Leader, Proofpoint
• Martin Littmann, Chief Technology Officer & CISO, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic
