About the First Information Security Day (Nov. 3, 2010):
On November 3rd, 2010, in the brand-new Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge, IRT held the first School of Medicine Information Security Day, organized by Ellen Amsel and Information Security Services. Our goal was to educate the School of Medicine community about good computer security practices, in a friendly and accessible way. With engaging speakers, fabulous prizes, and something like 150 attendees, the event was a big success.
Dean Pizzo and Senior Associate Dean Lowe graciously took time out of their busy schedules to lend their support to the event, and we hosted other speakers on topics ranging from the simple principles behind computer security at home and office (brought to you by the FBI), to iPad and iPhone security measures (courtesy of Apple Inc.), to our keynote address: an illustration of a potential cyber attack on a hospital network. To contribute to the convivial atmosphere, we served snacks, held raffles, and gave away prizes all day.

Keynote speaker: Greg Hoglund, CEO, HBGaryUsing spear-phishing and other relatively simple cyberattack methods, today’s sophisticated cybercriminals can easily access confidential patient records and other critical information at healthcare organizations. Hospitals in particular are at great risk for security breaches, not just because they store personal identifiable information, but also because they rely upon technology to keep people alive.
