Скачать или смотреть Dental Office Cybersecurity and HIPAA Compliance : How Not to Make a $50,000 Mistake

Cybersecurity breaches and ransomware attacks are no longer a “big company problem.” Dental offices are prime targets because patient data is gold on the dark web. In this episode, I’m joined once again by the expert who has been leading the charge in dental technology protection for over 20 years: Dr. Lorne Lavine, The Digital Dentist.

If you’ve ever thought “it won’t happen to my practice,” this conversation will change your mind fast.

Returning guest Dr. Lorne Lavine dives deep into what every dental practice must know about protecting their patient data, technology systems, and reputation. Lorne breaks down how ransomware attacks actually happen, why HIPAA compliance is still widely misunderstood, and the real consequences practices face if they don’t take security seriously.

You’ll learn:
• The #1 way ransomware breaks into dental offices
• Why cloud-based software does not eliminate HIPAA responsibility
• What a proper HIPAA risk assessment really involves
• Best practices for backups and disaster recovery
• How cyber liability insurance protects your bottom line
• The surprising percentage of practices that get hit with ransomware
• The essentials every IT setup needs in 2025 and beyond
• Why leaning on a healthcare-focused IT provider matters more than ever

Lorne also shares his own powerful journey from perio to the forefront of dental tech security, plus personal insights in our lightning-round close.
This episode gives dentists the clarity and action steps needed to stay protected, stay compliant, and stay in business.
