Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Four Easy Steps to Safer Data & Stronger HIPAA Compliance

Cybersecurity might sound like a job for your IT department, but the truth is that protecting sensitive data starts with every person in your organization. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to brush up on the habits that keep both you and your patients safe. 

In our webinar, we’ll show you how to take simple, powerful actions that dramatically reduce your risk of cyberattacks: 

• Use Strong Passwords: Long, unique passwords—and password managers—make accounts harder to crack. 
• Turn On Multi-Factor Authentication: MFA adds a critical second layer of protection. 
• Recognize & Report Phishing: Stop attacks by spotting suspicious messages early. 
• Update Your Software: Security patches close the gaps hackers exploit. 

These four habits are not just cybersecurity best practices; they are foundational to HIPAA compliance. We’ll connect them to HIPAA’s three safeguard pillars—administrative, technical, and physical—so you can see how everyday behavior supports a strong compliance program.
