Digital Security in Health Care Institutions

Presented at HOPE Number Nine (2012), July 13, 2012, 7 p.m. (60 minutes)

Health care institutions usually have a large number of digital devices, networks, and databases. Lots of data goes through them, but are you aware of how much data that is? And how secure is it? How easily can this data be captured? How easy is it to access those medical devices? Can this be done without being detected? After six years of involvement in health care IT projects, Jorge and Alvaro have some stories and details to share.
