Cyber Umbrella to Highlight Critical Cybersecurity Measures for Dental Practices at GNYDM 2024

July 10, 20242 min read

In an era where digital threats are increasingly targeting healthcare providers, Cyber Umbrella is set to make a significant impact at the upcoming Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM) in December 2024. The nonprofit organization, known for its commitment to enhancing cybersecurity in the dental industry, will be showcasing its services and expertise at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York[1][2]. 

As cyber attacks on dental practices continue to rise, the importance of robust digital security measures cannot be overstated. Dental offices handle sensitive patient information daily, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Cyber Umbrella's presence at GNYDM 2024 underscores the critical need for dental professionals to prioritize their cybersecurity strategies. 

Michael Benson, founder of Cyber Umbrella, emphasizes the urgency of the situation: "The dental industry is facing unprecedented cyber threats. Our goal at GNYDM is to educate dental professionals about these risks and provide them with the tools and knowledge to protect their practices and patients." 

Cyber Umbrella's booth at GNYDM will offer attendees the opportunity to learn about the latest cybersecurity threats facing dental practices and explore solutions to mitigate these risks. The organization will also be showcasing its recent $2 million grant initiative, which provides free penetration testing services to eligible dental practices[2]. 

This grant program, aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in dental practice IT systems, has already garnered significant attention within the industry. Dental professionals attending GNYDM will have the chance to learn more about this initiative and how it can benefit their practices. 

The Greater New York Dental Meeting, scheduled for November 29th to December 4th, 2024, with exhibits running from December 1st to 4th, provides an ideal platform for Cyber Umbrella to reach a wide audience of dental professionals[1]. With over 1000 exhibit booths expected, the event promises to be a hub of innovation and education for the dental community.

Dental practitioners are strongly encouraged to visit Cyber Umbrella's booth to gain insights into protecting their practices from cyber threats. As the dental industry continues to digitize, understanding and implementing robust cybersecurity measures is no longer optional – it's a necessity for the safety of patient data and the integrity of dental practices. 

Join Cyber Umbrella at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center this December to take a proactive step towards securing your dental practice against the evolving landscape of cyber threats. Your practice's digital health may depend on it.
