Thanks so much for sharing this, @Robert Bastani-this is incredibly timely. I'll add it to the LHIT calendar and plan to attend.

This feels especially relevant given the ongoing increase in cyber threats targeting the public health sector. If you're working in IT, informatics, or leadership, this is a great opportunity to better understand how to evaluate and strengthen your organization's defenses.
