At our August Zoom social mixer, the conversation primarily focused on three major topics: inbound email security, fostering a culture of security, especially for new hires, and how to stay safe and compliant as AI usage becomes increasingly prevalent.
What happened:
The August social mixer was an unmoderated discussion among healthcare IT professionals and marketers. We covered a range of topics, including cost savings with Google Workspace's rural health program, Paubox's quarantine tools, training new staff on security practices, the Paubox MCP Server, security trends, and AI company policy.
Our takeaways:
- Google’s rural healthcare cybersecurity initiative offers significant savings for qualified organizations.
- When looking for savings with either Google or Microsoft, working with partners often gets the best prices.
- Attendees had great feedback and feature requests around the quarantine, mostly around how Paubox inbound security can help IT directors save time.
- The group was asked about their top recommendations when onboarding new hires:
- "If you don’t know the person, don’t click on anything in the email."
- One attendee recommended holding weekly one-on-ones to review the phishing campaigns and identify how they could've spotted them.
- Share phishing attack catches across the company.
- Share relatable stories with new hires about how a security tactic helped someone they know - this makes them more engaged.
- We discussed how hackers exploit Direct Send and how Paubox can help.
- One attendee asked the group for dos and don'ts when acquiring a HIPAA-covered business. Advice included:
- Understand state regulations
- Document everything
- Keep team leaders informed
- Make sure you account for all their domains, even defunct ones
- We discussed AI company policies. Attendees agreed to share policies and crowdsource ideas.
- Company leaders need to be more careful about rushing into AI usage.
The bottom line: Customers count on Paubox to help keep their emails HIPAA compliant and save time managing inbound email security challenges.
