Fortifying Healthcare: Building Resilience Against Prolonged Cyber Disruptions
Wed, Nov 13, 2024 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
In today’s digital age, healthcare organizations are increasingly vulnerable to cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks and extended IT outages, which can significantly disrupt critical operations. While many organizations have basic downtime procedures in place, few are adequately prepared for the reality of an extended disruption lasting more than four weeks. This session will focus on the crucial steps healthcare organizations need to take to build resilience against prolonged cyber incidents.
Attendees will gain insights into developing comprehensive contingency plans that go beyond the traditional short-term outage strategies. We will explore how to design and implement extended downtime procedures, ensure continuity of patient care, safeguard sensitive data, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements in the face of extended IT outages. Through real-world case studies and actionable guidance, participants will leave equipped with a deeper understanding of how to enhance their incident response frameworks and protect their organizations from the escalating threat of cyber disruptions.
