Breakfast session at AHIMA targets to blunt cyber threats

The reality of cyber threats is that a hacker can get into and stalk an agency’s network for hundreds of days without the agency knowing it, which is why healthcare contributors require detection tools to learn of silent malware within their data systems, states Mark Dill, principal consultant at security consultancy tw-Security. That’s why this Breakfast session at AHIMA  will be targeted to blunt cyber threats.


At a 7 a.m. networking Breakfast session at AHIMA on the day of October 17 during AHIMA16 in the place of Baltimore, Dill will team with 2 other consultants, Joseph Kirkpatrick of Kirkpatrick Price and Mac McMillian of CynergisTek, to blunt cyber threats and describe several faces of hacking. This involves a newer twist known as “Hactivisim,” which is taking control over an agency’s web site or private network to reflect a political or social agenda.


There also are many serial hackers that hold an agency’s information ransom until payment is made, then restore approach but keep a copy of the information with the threat to issue it to other criminals unless another payment is made.


But aside from trying to scare the audience, the speakers need to assert that “the solutions to the issues do not always cost millions of dollars,” Dill claims. “The solutions do not always have to be costly to make a distinction.”


The 3 security pros will assert the fleshing out security gaps and dealing them, and adopting suitable controls to address unreasonable risks. Other problems to be covered involve advanced persistent attacks and financial crime and espionage.
