2022 State HIT Connect Summit

As states across the country work to deploy web-based, modular, and interoperable solutions, state system boundaries and attackable applications are expanding. The increase in vulnerabilities being discovered parallels both the growth and diversity of enterprise software being deployed, and the potential profitability of cybercrime activities. The Healthcare sector, in particular, is consistently a top target for bad actors and ransomware attacks. As these external threats evolve, a comprehensive approach is needed to ensure your enterprise networks, information, and systems are secure. But, how secure is your program? Do you have the right cybersecurity strategy in place? How vulnerable are you to breaches and attacks? The answers to these questions are what keeps our panel of State experts up at night. This session focuses on lessons learned and best practices for developing an effective cyber security posture and securing your SDLC. A panel of experts from multiple states will discuss the flexibility needed to adapt to an ever-changing threat environment, including the evolution of their continuous monitoring programs to discover and correct potential vulnerabilities as early as possible in the SDLC, methods to maximize the value of security assessment activities, and approaches to implement safeguards on the potential for production vulnerabilities.
