Developing Excellence In Cybersecurity Management With Henry Svendblad

Public Risk Management

On this week's podcast we have Henry Svendblad he is the Chief Technology Officer at Company Nurse LLC he will be discussing developing excellence in cybersecurity management. Cyber security in the public sector? Specifically in the current workers' comp public sector it is very inadequate mostly due to the complex systems and outdated online knowledge about online security. Ideally at minimum every organization in this industry that has access to individually identifiable information or health information should follow some of the basic outline of the HIPAA and high tech technical safeguards. So for example, that is making sure that data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and that the systems that you use provide audit trail capabilities to see who has access to that protected information. Why has there been such an increase in cyber attacks? Unfortunately, cyber crime has become an established industry and organization that functions ultimately to use techniques like ransomware to freeze and hold large amounts of information and data rather than just receiving and using credit cards from the local person down the street. One very common way has been targeted email attacks that mimic a request from a CEO or individual in the company with detailed requests for payroll information or the credentials to the computer they may be using which is known as spear fishing.
