How much will a cybersecurity incident cost your practice?

July 28, 2022
The medical and dental industries are prime targets for data pirates. What are you doing about it?

According to the latest data breach report by IBM and the Ponemon Institute, the cost of a data breach in 2021 was $4.24 million. This is a 10% rise from the average cost in 2019, which was $3.86 million. The global average cost of cybercrime was expected to peak at $6 trillion annually by the end of 2021, driven by the proliferation of ransomware attacks.

The good news is you can eliminate that worry with a practice management cloud solution. Finding the right solution that fits your practice’s needs of saving time and money all while benefiting from the security of a true cloud solution is the best way to future-proof your practice against bad actors.

This on-demand event discusses how a ransomware attack impacted a doctor’s practice; how you can protect your practice and patients’ data; and why a cloud practice solution is the best investment for future growth.

What you'll learn:

  • What a cyber-attack is and its direct and indirect impact on your practice
  • Why the medical and dental industry targets for hackers and data pirates
  • Your role in protecting your practice from security breaches
  • How a cloud solution protects you and reduces your liability
