Please join us for a rural health focused webinar led by Rob Rudloff and Jim Hedges, Consulting Services Partners at RubinBrown.

Rural hospitals are now among the most targeted organizations in healthcare, as cyber criminals increasingly exploit the limited staff, tight budgets, and aging technology common in smaller facilities. This session explores why rural and critical access hospitals are high-value targets, the most pressing real-world threats facing rural healthcare today, and how a single cyber incident can disrupt operations, threaten patient safety, and strain already thin resources.

Participants will gain a practical, budget-conscious cybersecurity roadmap tailored to rural providers, focusing on the high-impact actions, smart investment prioritization, and strategies to strengthen resilience without adding staff. If you’re looking for realistic, affordable ways to protect your hospital, your data, and your community, this session delivers clear guidance you can put to work immediately.

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the most significant cyber threats facing rural hospitals and understand the specific factors that make smaller healthcare organizations attractive targets.
2. Assess key operational, financial, regulatory, and patient safety impacts associated with a cyber incident on rural healthcare delivery, including downtime and service disruption risks.
3. Prioritize practical, budget-conscious cybersecurity controls that meaningfully reduce risk without requiring expanding internal headcount or major investments.
