    A 3-PART ON-DEMAND CYBER COURSE

    Cyber Compliance 102

    Cyber Risk Management 103
     
     
    DSOs are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyberthreats, and over the last several months many of these attacks have made national news. The effects of a security breach can ripple across an entire organization, leading to significant compliance, operational and financial implications, as well as compromising patient safety.
     
    This 3-part course created by Black Talon is designed specifically for DSO executives, aiming to equip you with the technical knowledge needed to identify and address cyber and compliance risk within your organization. On the surface, a ransomware attack that effectively locks up your organization’s data is a technical one; but embedded within cyber risk and cybersecurity are a host of management problems as well. It is crucial that the entire executive team have clear goals to address cyber risk—not only your technical leaders.
