From Threats to Trust: How to Navigate HIPAA in a Real-Life Data Breach

With the advancement of technology, we have gained many efficiencies in our practices. Advanced technology has also led to greater cyber threats on all fronts; including our stored data, our emails, and texts. With the advent of digital and paperless practices, our security requirements have gone far beyond locked drawers and secure buildings. Practices must commit time and resources to have continued cyber security, physical security, training, monitoring, and insurance. Beyond committing time and resources to keep all the needed protections and procedures in place and updated, practices also need the assistance of a top-notch technical group and a good insurance agent. This webinar will give you some ideas and suggestions that will aid you in planning to keep HIPAA information safe in the digital world.
