Practice Management Update: Cybersecurity Checkup

In response to growing cybersecurity concerns, the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) developed a Cybersecurity Self-Assessment Tool aimed at assisting providers with assessing their existing cybersecurity processes, and to identify best practices for implementation where processes do not currently exist.

Join your colleagues to learn more about how your practice can implement this assessment tool, by utilizing the 5 core functions:

• Identify: Learn to assess your systems, assets, data, business context, and resources to understand and manage cybersecurity risk.
• Protect: Develop and implement the appropriate safeguards to limit/contain the potential impact of a cybersecurity event.
• Detect: Implement assessing procedures to rapidly identify cyber events, test detection processes, analyze data to understand attack targets and methods, and inform improvements to organizational processes.
• Respond: How to contain the impact of a cybersecurity event.
• Recover: Prepare processes to maintain resiliency plans and support restoration of services impacted during an event.

Practice Management Updates are open to MCMS members and their staff. There is no additional cost to attend.
