NEW YORK — In a presentation at OSN New York, Sydney Tyson, MD, MPH, shares the story of a cyberattack his health care company experienced to help ophthalmologists prepare for the worst at their own practices.

“Cyber insecurity just means that you have continued vulnerability,” he said. “You’re always going to be at risk, but you can take proactive steps to kind of mitigate that risk, and really, if you do get attacked, it won’t be so bad because you can be resilient towards that.”
