ISMG Summit Speaker Phil Englert of Health-ISAC on Emerging Security Healthcare Issues
Life sciences firms, including pharmaceutical companies, are facing growing challenges in securing complex sets of sensitive data such as genomic information, said Health-ISAC’s Phil Englert, one of many high-profile speakers who will discuss emerging industry trends at Information Security Media Group’s upcoming Healthcare Summit 2023.
“The need to anonymize the data – human DNA – is very interesting in that it can be used to re-identify people, and by its very nature it has or can have electronic protected health information built right into it,” said Englert, who is director of medical device security at the Healthcare Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
Englert will join speakers from CISA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI, as well as chief information security officers in the healthcare field on Tuesday in New York City for the ISMG Healthcare Security Summit to discuss the state of security and hot topics such as artificial intelligence and third-party risk.
