Fantastic evening last night and a MASSIVE thank you to The Real Cyber Awards, Gary Hibberd & Suzanna Dee and Lee Scorey (and Jo), the judges, attendees, including Anj Handa and all the sponsors. I was honoured to be one of the judges, and unbeknown to me, I unexpectedly received this award for Real Cyber Impact!🏆

I am truly humbled and often don't give myself enough credit for the impact I do have in the world of cyber, so I am very proud to receive this last night. Thank you! 🙏 💝

There have also been high profile cyberattacks specifically targeting mental health and behavioral services, along with a shift toward targeting vulnerable people directly. Cyberattacks involving personal health data, especially sensitive mental health data, could have devastating consequences to vulnerable people, those close to them, and many other stakeholders. This article calls for the immediate examination of the current state of cybersecurity in the digital mental healthcare industry to collectively identify risks and to protect user and provider vulnerabilities.
