PRAGUE WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS

Health-ISAC started the year in the Czech Republic with a Healthcare Cybersecurity Workshop in Prague on 12 January, hosted at MSD. Forty healthcare security peers gathered to learn and share mitigation strategies and connect within a trusted environment.

Freshly energized attendees spoke about the workshop on LinkedIn:

It was a very enriching experience thanks to participants from both the Private & Public sectors. My main take away is that by sharing valuable
information with each other we all get stronger, and with that we manage to serve our patients better.
The day was excellent. A huge shout out to Health-ISAC, as all I heard throughout the day from all the attendees is that every company should be a part of this organization.
Please consider sharing your best practices as a speaker or hosting a workshop at your facility. March and April locations include California and Ireland. Learn more here https://h-isac.org/events/.
