About this talk

The 2019 HIMSS Cybersecurity Survey indicated that email is the initial point of compromise for healthcare cyber-attacks, with cybercriminals increasingly favoring Business Email Compromise (BEC) as a primary tactic. Because BEC emails do not carry malicious payload and are narrowly targeted, it’s difficult for health institutions to detect these attacks. In 2020, cybercriminals are even more focused on BEC attacks, with information related to COVID-19 being the primary lure. Join us for a deep analysis of BEC and how you can better protect your patients, healthcare workers, and business admins. In this session, we'll cover: - The cybersecurity challenges currently facing healthcare - How COVID-19 has become the primary focus of cybercriminal activities - Tips on how the industry can protect itself against these attacks
