1:20 PM Securing the Front Lines: Cybersecurity Awareness & Other Human-Centered Approaches to Overcoming Insider Threats

While the proliferation of threat vectors continues to create challenges to CISO’s within the healthcare space, it’s important to recognize that insider threats will remain a serious vulnerability for organizations for the foreseeable future. This session will delve into how a renewed focus on cybersecurity awareness training is a fundamental component of minimizing and containing the huge vulnerability that insider threats pose to long-term cyber resiliency within a healthcare-focused organization.
