In the October edition, read CEO Bob Chaput's featured article and learn about building the business case to get the necessary budget for cybersecurity. And, learn what the latest Ponemon study reveals about the astonishing number of cyber attacks healthcare organizations are experiencing! As always...great opportunities for HIPAA compliance and cyber security education.

In this article, written by our CEO, Bob Chaput, that recently appeared in this top tier publication, we take a step-by-step approach to tally the true cost of a healthcare data breach. When CIOs see how easily the tab can reach $7 million or more, it should be much easier to build a case to get the funds needed to prevent or minimize the devastating consequences of a breach.

According to the study, healthcare organizations are experiencing an average of 11.4 cyber attacks per year. Further, almost half of the respondents (48 percent) said their organizations have experienced an incident involving the loss or exposure of patient information in the past 12 months.

This white paper highlights how information security and patient safety are linked, identifies emerging PHI-related threats to patient safety, documents relevant incidents and the lessons that can be learned from them, and suggests how hospitals can enhance their risk management approach to better protect patients against new cybersecurity-related threats to patient safety.
