The Webinar Wednesday presentation “Addressing the Expanding IoMT Attack Surface” sponsored by Crothall is eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
The health care industry is experiencing a rapid increase in cyber-attacks with reports of malicious activities doubling from 2020 to 2022. At least 580 major health care systems were attacked in 2022, affecting hundreds of hospitals. As attacks on hospitals grow and circumvent enterprise security controls, hospitals need a total systems safety approach to cybersecurity.
Edward Myers, director of cybersecurity at Crothall Healthcare; Luke Smith, senior director of solution engineering at Asimily; and Peter Hancock, vice president of channel sales & strategic partnerships at Asimily, focused on the latest strategies to address the expanding IoT attack surface during the webinar. They also shared additional insights during a question-and-answer session with attendees.
