Episode Description

Health data is considered personal data gold to cybercrooks. Hospitals, clinics and telehealth situations involve a lot of complexity that brings many threats and vulnerabilities to patient data. • Is your healthcare and patient data safe? • Are hospitals and clinics doing all they can to protect your data? • What would you like to ask your hospital about this? • Would they know how to answer? • Are HIPAA requirements effective for protecting patient data? Listen in as Mitch Parker, a healthcare security expert and executive at multiple large hospital systems, provides answers to these questions and more. Mitch will cover longtime, current and emerging challenges for corporate information security officers (CISOs) at the largest hospitals as well as the smallest, rural clinics. Mitch also provides insights and his thoughts on HIPAA updates during this conversation with Rebecca.

There are more information security and privacy threats than ever before. As more technologies emerge, more surveillance tactics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands. Rebecca offers information about these existing and emerging security and privacy risks and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice and news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
