HIMSS Conference: GroupSense & CynergisTek

Written by Editorial Team | Mar 10, 2022 2:53:13 PM

Kelly Milan, GroupSense, will attend HIMSS with our friends at CynergisTek on Tuesday, March 15th and Wednesday, March 16th. He will give two demos on Tuesday and Wednesday in CynergisTek's booth (#4942) on Hacking and Healthcare.

2021 was unprecedented when it comes to the level and sophistication of cyberattacks affecting healthcare institutions across the country and around the globe. There is a growing digital pandemic on healthcare organizations. In 2020, healthcare attacks involved the theft or exposure of the protected health information of at least 18,069,012 patients* and the average bill to recover after a ransomware attack was almost $1.3 million for the healthcare industry*.

Whether it’s the number of medical records exposed (considering the top five breaches of 2021 alone accounted for 15 million records) or the disruptive attacks that not only impacted business and made fighting the ongoing pandemic more difficult, eventually cybercrime affected patient safety and patient outcomes, even mortality.

Kelly will give a glimpse into the cyber crime underground to see what hackers are saying and doing to target healthcare organizations – and what you can do about it with help from CynergisTek and GroupSense.

Visit Kelly in CynergisTek's booth 4942 on Tuesday and Wednesday at 11:30 and 2:30 ET at HIMSS in The Orange County Convention Center.
