Session Details

A cybersecurity incident can disrupt every part of a dental practice from patient records and clinical systems to banking, payments and business operations. This multidisciplinary Practice Excellence Network panel brings together experts from banking, law, digital and accounting advisory, and insurance to examine cybersecurity from four interconnected perspectives. Through practical scenarios, panelists will discuss fraud prevention, privacy and breach responsibilities, operational safeguards, cyber-insurance considerations and the coordinated steps practices should take before, during and after an incident.
