#1729095: Free Webinar: HIPAA Email Security 101: PHI, Encryption, and What’s Required

Description:	According to the Paubox 2026 Healthcare Email Security Report, in 2025, 170 email-related data breaches were reported to the HHS’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR). While healthcare organizations are getting better at preventing email-related data breaches, an analysis of email security configurations found that in 2025, 41% of healthcare organizations fell into the high-risk category, an increase from the previous year. On top of those large healthcare data breaches are the thousands of smaller breaches that affect fewer than 500 individuals, a large percentage of which are due to poor email security configurations and errors by healthcare employees. Each email incident erodes trust, can be costly to resolve, and potentially puts the organization at risk of a HIPAA penalty, yet email compliance failures are easily avoided. On March 31, 2026, the leading healthcare email security company, Paubox, is hosting a webinar to explain HIPAA email security 101. The webinar consists of a practical session covering the fundamentals of HIPAA-compliant email, what constitutes PHI and how to identify the indicators of PHI, as well as the key email security requirements that HIPAA-regulated entities must have in place to ensure that sensitive information is protected and patient privacy is assured. Attendees will also learn about the common compliance errors made by organizations and healthcare employees when communicating via email, and how to avoid them. Webinar attendees will learn about: The HIPAA requirements for email How encryption works and why it is vital for HIPAA compliance What qualifies as protected health information, and how to identify PHI indicators in day-to-day emails The email security requirements for healthcare organizations Common email compliance mistakes when sending PHI and how to avoid them
