SUMMIT DETAILS
As healthcare entered a new era of intelligent infrastructure, cybersecurity transitioned from a defensive function into a strategic imperative. 2025 revealed both the promise and peril of AI, ranging from unprecedented automation in threat detection to new forms of synthetic attacks that tested even the most resilient systems.
Our fourth annual half-day virtual summit set the tone for the year, offering a strategic look at how health systems could strengthen digital trust, integrate AI securely, and build enterprise-wide resilience. Leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem shared insights on where the industry stood—and where it needed to go to stay ahead of accelerating cyber risks.
During the event, we explored the trajectory of healthcare cybersecurity for 2026, focusing on evolving frameworks, predictive defense models, and the leadership mindset required to navigate an age of intelligent risk.
The summit was designed for:
- Executive Leadership: CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, CMIOs, and CHISOs.
- Security & IT Professionals: IT security directors and digital health innovators.
- Governance Teams: Compliance officers and data governance leaders.
These leaders gathered to stay ahead of the evolving threats, AI-driven risks, and regulatory shifts that continue to shape the industry.
