The written statements are not available yet, but will be found here.
The first two witnesses are from HIPAA-covered entities that had breaches, so it appears that this is about the FTC’s Section 5 authority with focus on data security.
I’m not sure why the FTC had any involvement in the Open Door Clinic breach as the clinic is a not-for-profit, but I guess we’ll find out.
