Top 6 Sessions: HIMSS

2/10/2020

 
EmberSec is headed to HIMSS! And while the conference is a phenomenal opportunity to network with colleagues and pick up the latest in marketing swag, there is much to be learned from the various speaker sessions, workshops, forums, and seminars. Here are a few we’ve bookmarked as can’t miss from the HIMSS 2020 agenda, including one of our very own.   ​
#1- Aligning Security to Business 
Abstract: In this session, Highmark Health Vice President and CISO Omar Khawaja draws on this experience and expertise to explain how CISOs must strive to integrate security into processes that enable the business.

#2- Protecting Healthcare’s Greatest Cyber Security Risk 
Abstract: Health institutions need to look at cybersecurity the same way their attackers look at them - through the lens of their people.  That starts by understanding who are healthcare’s very attacked people, or VAPs, and how they’re being attacked.  In this session from Ryan Kalember, EVP- Cybersecurity Strategy, Proofpoint, Inc. you’ll hear sophisticated research outlining which healthcare job functions are most attacked and the controls that can be put in place to both identify and protect your people from malware, credential phishing, impersonation and insider threats across email and cloud.

#3- Enhancing Security Controls with Application Whitelisting 
 
Abstract: Application Control is the practice of restricting unauthorized code execution. Application Whitelisting (AWL) is the most popular approach, which permits code execution from trusted applications based on policies/rules. As a critical control, Jimmy Bayne, Security Researcher, EmberSec, and Ken Jenkins, CTO, By Light Professional IT Services, LLC discuss the importance of implementing Application Whitelisting and how it helps protect healthcare organizations from cybersecurity threats.

In this session Mimecast North America colleagues Julian Martin, VP Global Channels & Operations and Aaron Orchard, Cybersecurity Strategist discuss: 1.) How to look at an integrated approach to IT security, 2.) Why a layered approach is better, and 3.) With a shortage in security workforce, integration and automation has become more critical than ever
