Company to Sponsor and Attend H-ISAC Spring Summit and Cyber Security for Healthcare Exchange
Boston – May 13, 2019 – Censinet, the third-party risk management company for healthcare providers, today announced that it will be driving discussion of third-party risk management in healthcare as a sponsor of two upcoming leading industry events – H-ISAC Spring Summit and Cyber Security for Healthcare Exchange. The company also plans to demonstrate its recently launched third-party risk management platform designed and developed in partnership with more than a dozen U.S. healthcare providers to manage threats to patient care.
As third parties continue to introduce unprecedented levels of risk into healthcare providers’ networks, it’s crucial that organizations take steps to manage threats to patient care. The average healthcare provider deals with more than 700 vendors and suppliers, exposing organizations to a substantial amount of risk.
“Risk never sleeps in healthcare,” said Ed Gaudet, CEO and Founder of Censinet. “This is why it’s essential that providers take third-party risk management into their own hands. The traditional risk assessment process in healthcare is outdated and antiquated. With Censinet, healthcare organizations can easily manage all vendors in their ecosystem in one place with immediate access to each vendor’s risk profile and risk rating, empowering them to make decisions based on accurate, real time data. We look forward to sharing our solution with industry leaders at both of these leading events and engaging in productive discussions on how to take the risk out of patient care.”
H-ISAC Spring Summit will be held May 13th-14th, 2019 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Flordia. Censinet will be located at booth #28.
Cyber Security for Healthcare Exchange will take place in Dallas, TX during May 19th-21st, 2019.
