The HIMSS Cybersecurity Command Center Presented by FairWarning will educate attendees on the most pressing healthcare industry security threats, cutting-edge information security technologies, and ways organizations can save time to better defend against growing cyber-threats.

"Information security threats facing the healthcare industry and specifically patient data are more robust and complex than ever," said Kurt J. Long, founder and CEO of FairWarning. "For the third consecutive year as the presenting sponsor of the Cyber Security Command Center, we see it as our duty to help move the industry forward by investing in technologies and resources that provide organizations tools and more importantly, the time they need to secure protected health information. We're thrilled to collaborate with HIMSS and to bring much-needed attention to cybersecurity at the event, and continue to raise the bar on information security and patient care."
