Cyber Risk Is Enterprise Risk – How to Reduce the Impact of Cyber Attacks
Join John Riggi, national advisor for cybersecurity and risk at the American Hospital Association and former FBI cyber senior executive for an interactive session on how cyber risk transcends from a technology risk to a business risk and to a patient safety risk. John will discuss strategies to identify, assess and prioritize cyber risk and reduce its operational, financial, reputational and clinical impact to the organization. John will discuss supply chain and third party cyber risk as a significant contributing factor in major health care data breaches and ransomware attacks. Based upon his continuing assistance to cyber-attack victims and information exchange with the government, John will also provide his national threat perspective and how to prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber and ransomware attacks. He will also discuss the latest cyber legislative and policy developments. As John always says, “This presentation is designed not to scare, but make aware, so we can prepare.”

Learning Objectives:
• Discuss the latest cyber threats, the consequences of high impact cyber attacks on victim hospitals and health systems and how to identify and mitigate some of the contributing risk factors which led to the attacks.
• Hear about lessons learned based upon assistance provided to victim organizations of ransomware attacks.
• Describe key considerations for third party risk management programs, cyber incident response readiness, response and recovery and being prepared for the effect of the “ransomware blast radius.”
