WEBINAR
Healthcare Threat Briefing: A CISO Fireside Chat on Human-Centric Threats, AI, and What’s Next
Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET
As cyber threats evolve, so must our defense strategies — especially in healthcare, where human vulnerability is often the primary target. In this candid fireside chat moderated by Ryan Witt, VP of Industry Solutions, two healthcare CISOs come together to unpack the current threat landscape. The conversation will focus on the human attack surface, the rise in attacks on IT helpdesks, and the growing trend of cyber extortion through data exfiltration.
Join us for a 45-minute session on what’s working, what’s not, and how healthcare organizations can better protect what matters most — patient safety.
The discussion will also explore:
- How data security programs need to evolve
- The current state of the AI arms race between attackers and defenders
- Whether “good enough” is ever truly good enough for a healthcare provider’s security program
