Program Details:

Sarah and Allie from Beckage – a nationally recognized data privacy and security law firm – will discuss why table top exercises are so critical to incident response preparedness, especially in the health care industry, where data breaches and threats continue to rise. Additionally, regulators are not just asking whether your organization has an incident response plan, but whether you have tested it. Sarah and Allie will walk through a few cybersecurity scenarios, and will identify key legal and technical issues that hospitals and providers should consider at each stage of an incident, from the initial detection, containment, eradication, remediation, and patient notification and government agency reporting. The data privacy security lawyers at Beckage will also review the critical roles that security, compliance, legal, risk management, clinical, press, and HR personnel play in responding to incidents.

She will review the types of coverage available and give tips for evaluating a cyber insurance proposal. She will also discuss, on a disidentified basis, some cyber incidents for which Sellers Insurance customers have submitted claims to their cyber insurers.
