2021 Health-ISAC Fall Americas Summit San Diego, California
To say it was energizing to meet and converse with Healthcare security peers at the 2021 Fall Americas Summit in San Diego last week would be an understatement. The synergy of exchange was palpable. Thank you to the everyone who attended the Summit in-person and online. Attendees had this to say:
“Meeting industry counterparts and leaders for conversation and information exchange, then being able to take ideas back to “home base” = extremely valuable!”
“It is refreshing to hear playbooks and focus on supply chain and building security by design”
Attendees participated in round tables, attended general sessions such as the CISO Panel and break out session covering topics like Cloud Security. They also took advantage of the numerous networking events. The Summit concluded with the much-anticipated presentation of this year’s Health-ISAC Information Sharing Hero Award to Joe Coleman. Many Members expressed appreciation about his sharing efforts. As one colleague stated, “There are too many positive adjectives to mention here!”

HEALTH-ISAC WHITE PAPER
Identity, Interoperability, Patient Access, and the 21st Century Cures Act:
A Health-ISAC Guide for CISOs
An identity-centric approach to enabling secure and easy access to patient data This paper – the fourth installment in Health-ISAC’s ongoing series focused on helping CISOs implement an identity-centric approach to cybersecurity – will help CISOs understand how an identity-centric approach to securing and enabling access to EHI will allow health organizations to minimize risks involved in complying with the 21st Century Cures Act. While this paper focuses on the new U.S. regulations, the concepts addressed in it apply to any health organization looking to enable broader access to and exchange of EHI.
