The U.S. Department of Justice just indicted two alleged hackers in China in the highly sophisticated cyberattack on health insurer Anthem that exposed data on nearly 80 million Americans. Meanwhile, ransomware, business email compromises, intellectual property theft and other headline-grabbing breaches and cybercrimes in the healthcare sector are getting the attention of CEOs and boards of directors. What other difficult cybercrime cases are federal law enforcement agencies trying to crack, and how can your organization avoid becoming the next victim making headlines?

Our presenter - Prashanth Mekala, FBI, Supervisory Special Agent, New York Field Office will address:

• Why healthcare is such an attractive target for cybercriminals, including nation state attacks;
• Latest trends in ransomware, IP theft, and other cybercrimes hitting healthcare;
• The main vulnerabilities in today's environment;
• Essential elements of a successful wartime defense strategy.

With the extensive network systems found in the health care industry, SSH keys are widely used to provide privileged administrative access and to secure machine-to-machine automation for important business functions. However, SSH keys are routinely untracked, unmanaged and unmonitored. This lack of visibility and control can create HIPAA violations by not adequately restricting access to Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). If SSH keys are not surely managed, the organization does not know who has access.

Only eight percent of heath care companies have accurate SSH key inventories. In addition, nearly half allow all or most of their administrators to manage SSH keys for the systems they control, resulting in an ad hoc process using inconsistent security practices. With no expiration and a lack of life cycle management, health care organizations can wind up with millions of SSH keys and a broad attack surface for insider threats and cybercriminals.

In this session, we'll examine SSH study results that reveal widespread lack of security controls for SSH keys in the health care industry. We'll discuss the common mistakes that almost all health care organizations make around security, policy, and auditing practices when managing SSH keys. We'll note the SSH key risks that are not addressed by IAM/PAM solutions and why they are probably some of the biggest risks in your network. The session will conclude with a 4-step approach to protecting SSH keys in health care networks.

Healthcare records remain one of the "holy grail" personally identifiable information (PII) data types for criminals. With patient data being more valuable to attackers than ever, alongside stricter HIPAA and HITECH compliance requirements and an ever-growing device inventory to manage, IT teams modernization projects must account for these risks in their strategic planning. To mitigate the risks being faced efficiently, healthcare organizations need to adopt a 'zero-trust' security approach and start viewing every threat surface, access point, identity, and login attempt as the new security perimeter.

By deploying solutions that can verify users and establish device trust while protecting every application (both cloud and legacy), healthcare organizations can quickly and effectively reduce their threat surface and meet compliance requirements.

Insider threat and email attack risks are a major issue in the health industry, 95% of IT executives have identified insider threats as a top concern in last 12 months, 79% think employees have put data at risk accidentally and 61% say employees have done so maliciously.

In this session will look at how organisations can use new analytic-driven machine learning to detect malicious human data handling risks and reduce human-error HIPAA violations. We will examine the types of insider threats leading to data exposure by distinguishing between malicious versus accidental breaches, highlight how adopting a risk-based approach to secure content and data sharing is vital for contemporary data protection. We will show through new techniques, how healthcare entities can protect employees from risky behavior and secure patient data without traditional friction that can impact adoption or interrupt care. Discover how companies like Epiphany Healthcare have streamlined the capture and use of clinical research data from over 900 hospitals, and how Raleigh Neurology ensures children's mental health privacy throughout high touch, high risk data workflows.

More cloud? Definitely more goals. Healthcare technology leaders are in a constant struggle to do more with fewer resources. Is the organization's security strategy the root of the problem or an enabling factor to ensure patient safety while improving the quality of healthcare delivery? Come learn how to control the risk of leveraging cloud email platforms while reducing the complexity of infrastructure and management overhead.

Speaker:
Preston Duren, Director, Cybersecurity Operations, Fortified Health Security

Many healthcare organizations today are hiring managed security service providers (MSSP) to manage specific security initiatives, or in some cases, outsourcing their entire security program. This approach is especially beneficial to those that have limited IT resources, lack internal security expertise, struggle to hire security talent, or simply need to implement a security program faster than they could in-house. But hiring an MSSP without the specific healthcare experience can pose just as much risk as cyber threats and attacks. Preston Duren, Director of Cybersecurity Operations at Fortified Health Security will discuss best practices for IT leaders to use when evaluating MSSPs and the importance of choosing the right partner. Topics include:

• Understanding the nuances of securing a healthcare environment;
• Key skills, certifications, and experience necessary for an effective healthcare MSSP;
• Real-life examples of damage and disruption that can be caused by an inexperienced cybersecurity team.
