NE HIMSS Premier Sponsored Webinar:
"A Human-Centric Approach to Cybersecurity in Healthcare"
Session Presented by Proofpoint
Webinar date: November 19, 2024
Webinar time: 12pm EST
In the dynamic world of healthcare, where both work environments and cyber threats are in constant flux, one constant remains—the critical importance of safeguarding patients and healthcare organizations from advanced threats and compliance risks. Healthcare professionals must securely access on-premise systems and cloud applications from any
location. However, human error is often the starting point of most attacks, with cybercriminals adept at using social engineering
techniques to target individuals with highly persuasive, personalized messages. This necessitates a fundamental shift in cybersecurity strategy, placing people at its core. To effectively implement such astrategy, healthcare institutions must possess the necessary visibility, controls, and integrations.
