The State of Cybersecurity in Healthcare
The State of Healthcare Cybersecurity Program is a twice‑yearly virtual summit series designed to illuminate the most urgent challenges and groundbreaking innovations shaping the protection of patient data and the resilience of the healthcare ecosystem. Each edition offers a distinct lens on the evolving threat landscape—one grounded in tactical execution, the other in strategic vision—giving leaders the clarity they need to stay ahead.
Together, these summits form a comprehensive, future‑focused program that keeps every stakeholder informed, prepared, and empowered to protect the integrity of healthcare.
Why These Summits Matter
Healthcare is entering an era of intelligent infrastructure, where AI is embedded in every system, workflow, and vendor relationship. That means:
- Attack surfaces are expanding
- Vendor risk is accelerating
- Synthetic and AI‑driven attacks are emerging
- Regulators are tightening expectations
- Boards are demanding resilience, not recovery
These summits bring together the leaders who are actively shaping cybersecurity strategy for 2027 and beyond.
