Responding when (not if) an attack occurs
Welcome to Dental TeX-ray, where Alan Rencher, Henry Schein One CTO, is highlighting the latest in dental technology, digital tools, and innovative techniques. From AI-driven diagnostics to next-generation patient experiences, we're exploring how tech is reshaping the dental industry.
In the second part of this month’s episode, Alan and Carrie talk next steps so practices know exactly how to respond when (not if) an attack occurs:
- Assigning clear ownership of cyber insurance
- Creating and training staff on a written incident response plan
- Vetting vendors for their own cybersecurity coverage
- Ensuring systems like Windows 10 are kept up to date
“Somebody has to own it. Cyber insurance is the hot potato no one wants to hold, but every practice needs a clear owner responsible for it.”
— Carrie Millar, Vice President of Business Development, Dentist Insurance Services
