Cybersecurity is in the news again, with a ransomware group suspected of shutting down Las Vegas hotels and casinos owned by MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment.
With attacks on health care organizations increasing, LeadingAge is offering the “Cybersecurity: Pre-Breach Preparedness” webinar to help protect aging services providers. The webinar focuses on how LeadingAge members can work with IT teams to protect their organizations from healthcare security breaches. It takes place on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, from 2-3:30 p.m. ET.
Attend to learn how to stay in front of emerging threats:
- Identify legal and regulatory considerations, including the Office for Civil Rights (HIPAA), state attorneys general (HIPAA, state data breach laws and state consumer protection laws), and the Federal Trade Commission (PHRs).
- Discuss how risk management works, how to handle contract negotiations, and ways to manage loss of coverage by a key vendor.
- Consider key risk mitigation strategies, federal and state safe harbors, and other documentation trends.
