Peer Insights

According to recent surveys, an estimated 87% of healthcare providers use Internet of Things (IoT) devices, so it’s no surprise that attacks against healthcare have increased by over 60% year over year. The trifecta of remote workers, an ever expanding attack surface and unsecured endpoints has provided a trove of opportunities for cybercriminals. How can healthcare professionals leverage IoT technology to provide cutting edge patient care, yet be safe from inbound attacks? How can healthcare security professionals protect the growing endpoint universe? And what does the roadmap look like for connected and secure healthcare in the future?

If you’re looking for answers to these questions, then please join this exclusive executive roundtable on Securing Medical Devices – The Next Threat Vector

Guided by insights from Fortinet experts, this invitation-only forum will also draw upon the experiences of the attendees. Participants will discuss the challenges of managing connected healthcare security now and in the future.

Topics discussions will include but not limited to the following:

  • What are the security challenges presented by telehealth and telemedicine?
  • What are the security risks for consumer medical devices?
  • What technology tools should healthcare organizations be investing in to secure their medical devices?
  • How can I be sure that my organization is staying competitive in the rapidly evolving connected medical devices field?

 

The format of the forum will incorporate open discussion and your participation.

Pizza Making 

As a thank you for your time and participation, we ask you to join us for a virtual pizza making class with Tony Boloney's.  

Tony Boloney's takes you back in time when dough was made by hand, yeast didn't come from a bag, and cheese was made & pulled fresh daily. Mike, Tony Boloney's owner & Head Pizziolo will first take you through a brief history of the pizzas and the techniques used back in the day. Then you will move-on to actually making the pizza and learning how to apply all the ingredients. Tony Boloney's has been featured on the Food Network's "Great American Food Finds" and "Best Thing I Ever Ate." They were the winners of Guy Fieri's Cheesesteak Battle. And have been featured on BuzzFeed, VICE Munchies, THRILLIST, and New Yorker Magazine.

Upon registering, you will be prompted to provide your shipping address to Tony Boloney's and a box containing all the pizza ingredients needed will be shipped right to your door prior to the 19th.
