Cybersecurity – What’s the Cost of Doing Nothing?
Think your network is secure? Think again! Don’t get caught off guard, believing your OMS practice will never experience a cyberattack. During this 90-minute webinar, participants will learn how hackers select their victims, along with best practices to avoid falling prey. Learn why hackers want your data when there are so many other bigger businesses to target. Presenter Gary Salman will explore the vulnerabilities or “open doors and windows” on each network, which allow hackers to easily gain access.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Assess the technologies/methodologies and training that must be in place to protect data and keep the practice open.
- Demonstrate why OMS practices fall victim to ransomware and describe a cybersecurity attack’s impact.
- Teach how to identify common infiltration methods such as phishing, spearphishing, social engineering “scams,” etc., before the practice becomes a victim.
- Distinguish the differences between an IT company and a dedicated cybersecurity vendor.
- Deduce the financial and emotional impact of a cyberattack against an OMS practice and express the importance of training the entire team to recognize and avoid threats.
