10:00 AM																Thinking Differently: Protecting the Patient, Employees and Supply Chain E-Mail has been the preferred vector to launch attacks for some time. In this way, attackers are increasingly targeting your data through your employees, your patients, and your business partners. In the medical industry, IT Security is the final step in patient care; safeguarding the patient record is part of a quality experience. Proofpoint’s focused Healthcare vertical delivers the most widely utilized security solutions for more healthcare insurers and providers than anyone else in the field of mail security. Protecting patients—and their trust in you—means preventing, blocking, and resolving threats that target that data beyond your network perimeter, including social and mobile. Compliance does not mean protection; targeted attacks are directed at users of EHR and mHealth apps and circumvent compliance driven measures. Denis Ryan, Senior Director, Proofpoint, Inc.
10:30 AM																Best Practices for Improving Incident Response Strategies and Developing Security Protocols to Prevent Data Loss The growing number of serious attacks on our networks and the continual loss of data and money through fraud is one of the most serious economic and national security threats our nation faces.

Panelists will address how they have overcome cyber-attacks and fraud losses and the methodologies and tools they have implemented to improve their security approach. Topics include: Implementing security practices that can be deployed to reduce fraud and cyber incidents Drafting risk assessments aligned with business functions Developing best practices for security monitoring and incident response with the goal of minimizing the impact of a data breach and the impact when a breach occurs Developing internal and external incident response plans with input from key stake holders including the board of directors, your fellow c-suite executives, your IT infrastructure team, privacy officers and your legal advisors Working with law enforcement when developing your incident response plans to ensure you have tools in place they may need to help you in the event of an incident Panelists: Sri Bharadwaj, Director, Information Services and Chief Information Security Officer, UC Irvine Health Heath Renfrow, Cyber Security Program Manager, Army Medical Command Alex Veletsos, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Together Health Network Ray Hillen, Managing Director, Cybersecurity, Agio Heather Roszkowski, Chief Information Security Officer, University of Vermont Health Network
