We are seeing a significant increase in sophisticated, AI-driven attacks on eye care practices —with 15 breaches already recorded in 2026, compared to only eight in the previous 15 years. These attacks involve cyber criminals utilizing AI to tunnel into systems, disable encryption, and exfiltrate data, which they then use to demand ransoms under threat of releasing sensitive information on the dark web. The financial impact is severe, with at least one practice facing costs exceeding $500,000.
To address this urgent threat, we invite all members to attend this cybersecurity webinar hosted by Joe DeLoach. The webinar will provide guidance on mitigating these risks and securing independent cyber insurance, a necessary safeguard against significant financial losses.
