Preconference Forums
Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum
Healthcare organizations face growing cyber threats each year. Cyberattacks are now a matter of “when,” not “if,” with severe consequences including compromised patient data, disrupted care, ransomware demands, and diminished public trust. In this environment, cybersecurity leaders must build resilience across the organization, not just at the perimeter. This forum brings together security executives, IT leaders, risk managers, and healthcare innovators to address the industry’s most urgent threats. Topics include ransomware, supply chain vulnerabilities, insider threats, and regulatory compliance, with a focus on real-world challenges for CISOs. Attendees will review advanced defense frameworks, share incident response plans, and learn to balance security requirements with operational needs. Discover how leading organizations use AI-driven threat detection, zero-trust architecture, and cross-functional collaboration to stay ahead of threats. Join discussions on board-level communication, budget justification, and fostering a security-first culture across all teams.
