American Ambulance Association members face a growing cybersecurity threat. EMS providers have become attractive targets for cybercriminals who exploit vulnerabilities in healthcare operations, often bringing patient care to a halt while demanding ransom payments.

Brian Scott, president and chief information security officer at ClearTone Consulting, has spent years helping small and medium-sized organizations build realistic security programs that work within tight budgets. In this hour-long presentation, he’ll explain why EMS organizations attract cybercriminals and show you how to protect your service without breaking the bank.

Scott will walk through actual attack scenarios that have hit EMS organizations, demonstrating how cybercriminals typically gain access to systems and what they do once inside. More importantly, he’ll show you the minimal security controls that stop most attacks before they begin.

The session covers HIPAA compliance from a practical perspective, acknowledging that small EMS operations don’t have dedicated IT staff or unlimited resources. Scott will provide field-ready checklists that help organizations without managed service providers assess their current security posture and prioritize improvements.

For services operating without extensive technology budgets, this webinar offers realistic guidance on cybersecurity investments that align with your actual risk profile rather than theoretical best practices designed for large hospital systems.
