Lessons Learned and Recovery from Breaches
 
14 DEC 2017 Noon - 1300 Eastern

Rebecca Herold, CEO and Founder of The Privacy Professor® 
In 2016, there were 329 breaches involving 500+ records, amassing a total of 16,471,765 records breached. The main cause of healthcare data breaches in 2016 was unauthorized access/disclosure, and all could have been avoided by the effective use of data encryption technology. Additionally, Ransomware accounted for 72% of healthcare malware attacks in 2016, and these attacks typically result in EHR downtime. Recovery costs can exceed $10M per covered entity, with daily downtime costs running over $6K per day. Organizations must understand both the regulatory hurdles and backup/recovery strategies when encountering breaches.
