Missed the Live Webcast? No worries.

Not many industries can say that cyber security is a life-and-death issue, except for healthcare institutions. Equipment that we have come to rely on to diagnose critical illnesses and provide life support are now embedded with computers that can’t easily be modified. Electronic Health Records have provided new, unique risks that now must be dealt with.
