Healthcare Security Virtual Summit - 2026

  • Thu, February 26, 2026
  • 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
  • Central Time - Virtual

Prescribing Cyber Resilience: Protecting Patients and Systems Alike

Healthcare networks remain prime ransomware and data theft targets, with attackers exploiting connected medical devices, third-party vendors, and underfunded IT systems. Security teams face the dual challenge of safeguarding patient safety while meeting strict regulatory standards.

The Healthcare Security Summit unites CISOs, clinicians, and policymakers to tackle the intersection of cybersecurity and care delivery. Sessions will focus on securing IoMT, improving incident response readiness, and integrating cyber risk into patient safety frameworks to keep hospitals operational and patients protected.

AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS

Key Issues Covered at The Official Cybersecurity Summit

Cyber Meets Patient Safety: Making Security a Clinical Risk Conversation

In healthcare, cybersecurity isn’t just an IT problem—it’s a care delivery risk. This panel brings together security leaders and clinical stakeholders to explore how cyber events translate into patient harm: delayed procedures, diverted ambulances, inaccessible imaging, medication administration disruptions, and downtime-driven errors. Panelists will discuss how to integrate cyber risk into existing patient safety and quality frameworks, align priorities across clinical/biomed/IT, and build governance that treats resilience as a clinical mission—without drowning staff in security friction.

Securing IoMT and Medical Devices: Visibility, Segmentation, and Practical Controls

Connected medical devices expand attack surfaces through aging operating systems, hard-to-patch endpoints, vendor remote access, and unpredictable network behavior. This panel focuses on pragmatic IoMT security: building accurate device inventories, understanding device risk, applying compensating controls (segmentation, allowlisting, monitoring), and managing vendor relationships without interrupting care. Panelists will share what works in the real world—especially in environments where patching is slow, devices are life-critical, and clinical uptime is non-negotiable.

Ransomware Readiness for Hospitals: Rapid Containment, Safe Operations, and Recovery Under Pressure

Healthcare ransomware response is uniquely complex: downtime can endanger patients, data theft triggers regulatory exposure, and recovery must restore clinical systems in a safe order. This panel dives into readiness strategies that work during real disruptions—incident command structures, clinical downtime procedures, network containment, identity recovery, and restoration sequencing that prioritizes care delivery. Panelists will discuss how to test plans realistically, reduce recovery time, and make tough decisions fast while balancing patient safety, operations, communications, and compliance.
