Leidos Health Information Privacy and Security Officer, Sean Murphy, will address how organizations can proactively strengthen cyber threat monitoring and incident response during a session at the 2015 Annual HIMSS Conference and Exhibition in Chicago, April 12-16, 2015. Murphy will present “Your Data Will Be Breached” on Tues. April 14, at 3:15 – 3:45 p.m. CT in the Cybersecurity Command Center (booth 8175). A comprehensive look at data security is also captured in his book, “Healthcare Information Security and Privacy”.Signed copies will be available.

“Recent data breaches show an increased likelihood of cyberattacks from external adversaries targeting healthcare,” said Sean Murphy, CISSP, ISSMP, CPHIMS, FACHE, HCISPP, CIPP/IT and member of the HIMSS Privacy and Security committee. “This calls for more cost-effective solutions that expand emphasis from prevention to continuous monitoring and quickly addressing threats which can risk patient privacy, health and safety.”

As a HIMSS15 presenter, Murphy will highlight the complex anatomy of cyber attacks, incident response and cost-effective techniques for better protecting critical systems and data from unauthorized disclosure. Recently, Trinity Health of Minot, N.D. selected Leidos Health to provide managed cybersecurity services, which includes around-the-clock continuous monitoring and vulnerability scanning among other services.  The unique combination of Leidos security expertise and deep knowledge of healthcare IT creates a powerful solution to mitigate the risk of potential and undetected security threats.
