The Savvy Dentist

In this episode Dr. Jesse Green is joined by Assadi Youssef
Assadi Youssef is a former hacker working at KPMG as a cybersecurity consultant. He helps Australian businesses improve cybersecurity because he knows how to exploit their weak points.

In this episode we talk about what hackers think, how they think, and how they exploit weaknesses in systems. But most importantly we talk about risk mitigation and how best to protect your data. We also discuss what to do if indeed the ‘worst’ does happen and you are breached, including how to talk to your patients and how to recover your data.
We know that we have to be conscious of the data we hold and we’ve got to put in place steps to protect it.
