Forward(Recorded Webinar) Responding to Ransomware Attacks: Confidentiality, Clinical, and Financial Considerations
Given the increased number of ransomware attacks on health care entities and their business associates, the focus has changed from what to do if a health center is affected by a ransomware attack to what to do when a health center is affected by a ransomware attack.
Many health care providers focus their attention on the confidentiality-related requirements for responding to a ransomware attack, including determining whether there was a breach and notifying law enforcement, patients, media and the Office for Civil Rights. In this webinar, we’ll review the HIPAA requirements for responding to a ransomware attack and discuss the clinical and financial impacts of a ransomware attack. Responding to a ransomware attack requires that health centers understand the applicable regulatory requirements as well as their IT systems and vendors, policies and procedures (including data governance practices), and cybersecurity insurance coverage. In this webinar, Feldesman attorneys will discuss strategies for responding to ransomware attacks, including best practices health centers can implement to respond to security incidents.
