SUMMARY:Webinar: Overview of Cyber Threat Landscape Panel
DESCRIPTION:Hospitals across the United States continue to be targets of ransomware and other types of cyberattacks. Not only can these events result in significant and costly breaches of patient information\, but they also threaten hospital operations and patient outcomes.
