Why This Forum Exists

Healthcare CISO and Security Leaders

Healthcare organizations face a threat landscape unlike any other sector. A ransomware attack on a hospital does not just disrupt revenue - it delays surgeries, diverts ambulances, and puts patients at direct risk.

The Healthcare CISO & Cyber Resilience Forum brings together senior security leaders from health systems, payers, pharma, biotech, and medical device companies for candid, off-the-record conversations about the challenges unique to protecting healthcare infrastructure.

This is not a vendor expo. It is an invitation-only gathering built by practitioners, for practitioners - designed to accelerate the relationships and intelligence sharing that make healthcare more resilient.

Patient Safety at Stake

When healthcare systems go down, the impact is measured in lives, not just dollars. Our sessions focus on resilience strategies that prioritize continuity of care.

Targeted Threat Landscape

Healthcare remains one of the most targeted sectors. Learn from peers who have faced ransomware, data breaches, and nation-state actors first-hand.

Regulatory Complexity

Navigate HIPAA, state privacy laws, and emerging federal mandates with guidance from leaders who have operationalized compliance at scale.

AI & Connected Devices

From clinical AI to IoMT device sprawl, healthcare CISOs face a unique convergence of innovation and risk that demands sector-specific strategies.

Three Days of Impact

Detailed Agenda

A carefully curated program designed to maximize learning, networking, and actionable outcomes for healthcare security leaders.
