Healthcare organizations own the risk for patient data even when entrusted to business associates - yet traditional third-party risk management is failing. Breaches involving third parties are escalating, and vendors often take months to discover compromises. Compliance surveys yield useless "yes" answers, continuous monitoring tools miss real threats, and security controls alone can't prevent determined attackers.

The critical gap lies between prevention and incident response: data breach defense. Without real-time detection of probable breaches, surgical containment of compromised servers and automated monitoring during vulnerable off-hours, healthcare organizations remain blind to exfiltration happening across their vendor networks.

The session, led by Vince Crisler, CISO at Celerium, will cover:

• Implementing data breach defense capabilities that detect early-stage exfiltration in real time;
• Enforcing business associate agreements beyond notification requirements to mandate detection capabilities;
• Deploying surgical containment strategies that block malicious traffic without disrupting critical clinical operations.
