The Dental Tech Drill Down: The Real Threat Isn’t Just the Hoodie-Wearing Hacker

Welcome to The Dental Tech Drill Down — your monthly deep dive into the innovations shaping the future of dentistry. Join Alan Rencher, our Chief Technology Officer, as he chats with industry experts and forward-thinking customers about the cutting-edge tech trends transforming the dental industry. This month, Alan sat down with Kenton McDaniel, Chief Information Security Officer of Henry Schein One, to talk about how Henry Schein One is prioritizing customer security across our platforms.  

“When we think about information security, we often think about the guy wearing the hoodie in the darkened room, the hacker, right? And so that's an external threat, and that's obviously something that we work very hard to protect against. But there are other things that we need to think about, as well. We were the first to market with SOC-2 Type I and Type II compliance for the Dentrix Ascend platform. We were the very first to have that credential. We're very proud of that. There's also a whole other aspect of data security and information security that's not really well understood, and we're here today to talk through that.” -- Alan Rencher, Chief Technology Officer, Henry Schein One
