As cyber criminals have changed their tactics and increasingly focused on healthcare providers, including dentists, VDA Perks Director Karen Wood and Michael Urbanik with R.K. Tongue discuss what dentists can do to protect their practice and their patients. Watch for more cyber security resources in the upcoming edition of the Virginia Dental Journal.

TOPICS COVERED:

• What should dentists be looking for to protect themselves and how can they get that protection?
• What should the first step be after a cyber or ransomware attack?
• What would a typical cyber liability policy cover if an office experienced an attack?
• How do you go about notifying patients and what are your options?
• How do your office’s IT safeguards impact the liability coverage available to you?
• Is your IT vendor liable if your data is breached?
• What should be the first step to evaluate my practice for potential vulnerabilities?
