Cyber Security: The current state of cyber security in veterinary medicine
3:00 PM - 3:50 PM Sun
In 2020 an average of 2.5 veterinary hospitals per week fell victim to cyber crime. The AVMA states their average cyber security PLIT insurance claim was $135,000.00 in 2020. With these staggering statistics, most veterinarians still don't think they have to worry about cyber crime. Because who would want Fluffy's vaccination records? This comes from a lack of an understanding of how cyber crime actually works and is deployed. In this session we will talk about why veterinary medicine is an easy target for cyber criminals and how these attacks are deployed. Then we will look at how you can take 5 simple and low cost steps to really shore up your cyber security defenses.
