Palisade Systems to Host Webinar on Protecting Your Business from Data Breaches, Crippling FTC Fines, and Surviving a HIPAA Audit
Risk management measures won't prevent confidential data breaches and the crippling fines that ensue; companies need data loss prevention strategies to safeguard data and reputation
DES MOINES, Iowa, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Palisade Systems, the leader in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions for mid-size businesses, announced today a complementary webinar titled "Protecting Your Business from Data Breaches, Crippling Fines, and Surviving a HIPAA Audit" on June 23, 2011 at 2 p.m. EDT. The webinar will be led by Catherine C. Cownie, a data security and HIPAA attorney with Brown Winick, Ali Pabrai, a healthcare information security and compliance expert with ecfirst, and Spencer Snedecor, a data security expert and CEO of Palisade.
"In the last few months there have been numerous reports of data breaches and consumers' sensitive data being compromised by a number of large institutions," said Snedecor. "But what has not been highlighted, is that regardless of company size, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are performing more audits to enforce HIPAA and HITECH compliance. Companies can no longer assume that normal risk management strategies will ensure compliance and safeguard their data. Simply put, companies of all sizes must consider deploying a data loss protection strategy to ensure their sensitive customer data is secure and they are not compromising their businesses."
The webinar is aimed at CISO, CSO, CEO, security VPs and directors responsible for protecting personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) for HIPAA and HITECH compliance. Webinar attendees will also hear key elements of the OCR and the FTC push to enforce HIPAA compliance and how to protect healthcare businesses from these audits.
By attending the webinar, attendees will learn:
- Recent examples of data breaches including their subsequent HIPAA audit results
- What to expect from, and how to survive, a HIPAA audit
- How to protect a business's critical data – a compliance checklist approach
