The healthcare industry's rapid digital transformation, while unlocking incredible potential for patient care, has opened a new frontier of vulnerabilities. This critical seminar delves into the emerging risks that threaten the sanctity and security of sensitive health data. We will move beyond traditional IT concerns to explore the complex challenges posed by the proliferation of connected medical devices (IoMT), the adoption of AI and machine learning, sophisticated ransomware targeting critical care systems, and the immense difficulties of managing third-party vendor risk. Join us to gain essential insights into building a resilient, proactive security posture to protect patient trust and ensure compliance in an increasingly volatile landscape.
