Stretching a Shoestring Budget: Security Best Practices for Small Providers

When it comes to cybersecurity best practices, it’s only natural that a disconnect sometimes exists between what goes on at Penn Medicine, Intermountain Healthcare and other large health systems, and, say, a 25-bed critical access hospital in Iowa. Small healthcare providers have fewer resources than the industry heavy weights, but no less risk of cyberattacks.

This session addresses the security challenges of smaller healthcare providers head on. The all-star speakers include an industry consultant with years of experience working with small and mid-size organizations, the IT director and security officer for a 25-bed medical center in Iowa, and the co-lead of HHS’s Health Industry Cybersecurity Best Practice for small, medium and large organizations.

Key discussion points  

  • Conducting a risk analysis to identify and prioritize risk
  • Working with organizational management Developing a strategic plan
  • Selecting vendors & managed solutions
  •  Identifying easy wins
