Description

In recent years, dentistry has experienced a significant shift towards digitalization, with the integration of electronic health records, digital imaging, and other technological advancements. This transformation has brought numerous benefits to dental practices and patients alike. However, it has also created new cybersecurity and data protection challenges. Sensitive patient data, such as medical histories, personal identifying information, and financial details, are held by dental practices. This has made them a prime target for cybercriminals who seek to steal this information for financial gain or other malicious purposes. To address these challenges, KDA will be hosting a zoom webinar featuring Dr. Felix Atandi on April 13, 2023, at 07.00pm. The focus of the webinar will be on prioritizing cybersecurity and data protection to safeguard both patient information and the reputation and financial stability of dental practices.
