Webinar: Managing Healthcare Cyber Risks with Zero Trust Security

Healthcare provider organizations (HPOs) can no longer rely on legacy security controls to prevent threat actors from stealing patient data or holding it to ransom. A healthcare ecosystem that includes remote caregiving and thinly-defended medical Internet of Things (IoT) devices requires a cyber risk management strategy based on the Zero Trust security model.

Join us on September 15th for an in-depth analysis of the security challenges and solutions that are shaping the healthcare delivery system. Guest speaker Chris Sherman, Senior Analyst Serving Security and Risk Professionals at Forrester, and Nigel Thompson, VP of Product Marketing at BlackBerry, will discuss:

  • The impact of digital transformation and the mobility revolution on HPOs and the future of healthcare
  • How to preserve the privacy and integrity of patient data in a tele-health environment where caregivers and patients are increasingly working from home
  • Best practice approaches for consistently managing and enforcing security policies across disparate devices and ownership models
  • Why HPOs must adopt a Zero Trust strategy to optimize security and productivity
