CynergisTek and Diebold to Showcase “Smart Hospital” Security Model at The Healthcare Facilities Symposium and Expo 2011
Chicago, IL – Friday, September 16, 2011
CynergisTek™, a leading provider of IT security solutions for healthcare organizations, today announced that it will be presenting its vision for the “smart hospital” of the future with its partner Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE:DBD), a global leader in providing integrated self-service delivery and security systems and services, at this year’s Healthcare Facilities Symposium and Expo (HFSE). The conference will take place on September 20 – 22 in Chicago, IL.
At this year’s HFSE, security experts from CynergisTek and Diebold will discuss how the companies are moving the industry closer to the “smart hospital” of tomorrow by improving the IT convergence of physical and electronic security at the facility level. The security companies’ shared vision for the “smart hospital” of the future ensures enterprise security is measured at all times in a way that is unobtrusive, comfortable, reassuring and compliant.
“As security threats to healthcare providers become increasingly difficult to combat, and the repercussions of breaches become more detrimental than ever before, refuge may be found in security reconfiguration at the facility level,” said Mac McMillan, CEO of CynergisTek. “By presenting the Diebold-CynergisTek ‘smart hospital’ model at the HFSE Conference, we’d like to convey the importance of increased asset and staff visibility in healthcare organizations. Our vision will ensure that data is always protected from physical and electronic threats, which is paramount in today’s healthcare environment.”
This year’s HFSE will be held at the Navy Pier in Chicago, IL from September 20 to 22. To learn more about the CynergisTek-Diebold joint vision of the “smart hospital” of the future, please visit them at Booth #425.
