Red: Top Healthcare Cybersecurity Priorities for 2026
5:30 - 8:00 PM ET | New York, NY
Event Overview
Healthcare cybersecurity has evolved from a passive IT concern into an urgent patient safety crisis, demanding immediate C-suite attention. With 72% of organizations reporting cyberattacks disrupting patient care, and 29% linking incidents to increased mortality, the stakes have never been higher.
The 2024 Change Healthcare breach exposed 190 million patient records, triggering industry-wide transformation and regulatory intensification. As healthcare records command up to $1,000 per record on dark web markets and nation-state actors escalate sophisticated attacks including deep fakes and AI-driven social engineering, traditional defensive postures are inadequate. Forward-thinking executives are repositioning cybersecurity as a strategic business enabler – integrating security leadership into clinical decision-making, modernizing legacy infrastructure, and building resilience-first architectures. The emerging regulatory landscape, including HHS Cybersecurity Performance Goals and the HICP Act, demands proactive compliance readiness across providers, payers and life sciences organizations.
Register for this exclusive healthcare cybersecurity leadership roundtable and join your peers in discussing how leading healthcare entities are tackling strategic 2026 cybersecurity priorities including:
- Managing and securing the explosion of healthcare data
- Building resilience and continuity beyond the breach
- Governing secure AI deployments and preparing for a post-quantum future
