Over the last year, ransomware attacks have been severely affecting the dental community and impacting practices of all sizes. Ransomware attacks may result in the shutdown of your office and theft of patient records and confidential health information. Ransom demands can even exceed $200,000. If the ransom is not paid, your patient personal and financial information may be auctioned for sale on the Dark Web. Cloud backups, firewalls and anti-virus software may not provide complete protection…yet 90% of practices across the US are relying on this technology alone to protect their data.

  1. Technologies, methodologies, and training to protect your patient records from ransomware attack

Riveting presentation

I always thought that hackers targeted big corporations before learning during this presentation that our dental offices are also at risk for severe damages. Risks and threats were clearly outlined as well as great information on how to protect our patient data and the roles of IT companies and cybersecurity firms.

Scary truth

The world is changing where at anytime we can open our computer and see skull and cross bones. Even if we have a perfect backup, we are still threatened with dumping our patient information on the dark web. The latest scam is for these bad people ask for payments from our patients. The best we can do is to make our systems more difficult to enter so they move on to easier offices. This is scary.
