Cybersecurity isn’t really an IT problem anymore, it’s operational, and in this space it’s a patient safety one.
This presentation takes a look at what’s actually happening in Australian healthcare right now. We’ll work through the latest ASD threat report, the MediSecure breach that exposed 12.9 million people’s prescription data, and the doubling of ransomware attacks against the sector last year. We’ll talk about why healthcare data is so valuable to criminals, how attackers are actually getting in, and what tends to break first. When a practice loses access to it’s systems, it loses appointments, patient histories, scripts, pathology and billing and care slows down without them.
If you’re a doctor, practice owner or practice manager, you’ll walk away with a clear list of actions your practice can start on Monday.
