Cyber Security Healthcare
& Pharma Summit

In cybersecurity, the term resilience describes the ability to recognize, respond to, and to recover from cyberattacks before they have a chance to cause significant harm. With cyberattacks on the rise, the threat to our nation’s healthcare systems is acute. Deputy Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Nitin Natarajan, will discuss the threat landscape, share practical tips, and introduce the many resources CISA provides to help build resilience into the overall cyber ecosystem.

There’s no lack of sensationalist headlines within cybersecurity, not to mention within healthcare. The latest hair-raising headlines making the rounds of both trades are on the topic of “killware,” malware that’s intended to directly cause harm and take lives. At this point, the media attention seems to be driven more by hysteria than reality. However, the root cause of the concern has merit. Cybersecurity within healthcare is of genuine concern and poses significant risk to patients if current trends continue. In this presentation, VP of Security Response Services at ExtraHop and former healthcare CISO, Mark Bowling, will share four of the greatest forces compromising the cybersecurity of the healthcare sector, as well as strategies to combat them.

Digital transformation in the Healthcare industry is causing an explosion of hyper-connected IT, IoT and IoMT devices and, with it, a greatly expanded cyber-attack surface. With constant transformation and the explosion of interconnected devices, how do you even begin to plan for a zero trust architecture beyond the managed users and workstations? 

In this session you will learn: 

• How NIST defines Zero Trust and their 7 steps to get there.
• Some of the common pitfalls to avoid.
• Why Zero Trust doesn’t stop at managed users and workstations – IoMT devices must be included in the architecture planning up-front.

This panel will discuss:

• Who are the VAPs (very attacked people), and why are they being targeted?
• Top insider threat risks Healthcare organizations face in 2022
• Analysis of the Top Healthcare Breaches of 2021
• State-specific Privacy Rules, GDPR, and proposed changes to the Privacy Rule – How will this affect the landscape of future breaches?

Ransomware has dominated cybersecurity news reports for several years now, but it’s not the only threat organizations are facing today. More and more, organizations are adopting new technologies and services while still needing to maintain existing infrastructure, systems, devices and applications. With growing complexity comes an ever-increasing challenge to understand where we are most at risk and determine how best to mitigate it.
In this discussion, we’ll look at what the growing attack surface looks like for many healthcare and pharma organizations and provide strategies for adapting your security program to better understand where vulnerabilities exist across all the various types of assets in your environment and how to mitigate them before the next cyberthreat comes along.

The Zero Trust framework is based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” Join us to learn about Zero Trust, how to adopt it, and the technologies you need to take control of your environment in the fight against ransomware.

This panel will discuss:

• The state of ransomware today: some of the latest cyber threats and cybercriminals’ changing tactics
• How to identify warning signs and attackers leave trails
• Creating a well-run security operations center for healthcare systems and data to protect from ransomware

Every organization today must face the reality that your data is always at risk. Whether that risk is external attacks, system failures, or simply employee accidents, we must always be aware of where our systems are most vulnerable and how to turn a full-scale disaster into a manageable situation.

In this discussion, we will show some of the best ways you can protect your data with Synology, how this has been implemented in healthcare, as well as considerations needed for different methods of backing up your data.

As hospitals and healthcare organizations across the globe strive to provide the best possible patient care under increasingly immense strain, attackers are ramping up their efforts against them. Ransomware attacks, phishing campaigns, and an increasing number of IoT devices pose a growing threat to the healthcare industry, and holding valuable data within patient files, they remain a primary target for cyber-criminals.

Join Justin Fier, Director of Cyber Intelligence and Analysis at Darktrace, as he discusses the cyber-threats that the healthcare sector is facing today and how security teams can take a proactive approach to protect their systems, data, and ultimately, their patients.
