About the Forum
The Healthcare CISO & Cyber Resilience Forum Austin is a two-and-a-half-day, in-person event designed exclusively for senior cybersecurity leaders in the healthcare sector. The forum operates as an invitation-only, practitioner-driven gathering rather than a vendor expo, emphasizing candid peer conversations and intelligence sharing among executives responsible for cybersecurity strategy and risk management.
Core Topics and Training
The agenda addresses ransomware and targeted cyber threats specific to healthcare environments, resilience strategies for continuity of care, threat intelligence, incident response, and risk quantification. Sessions also cover the security implications of AI adoption and connected medical devices (IoMT), examining how innovation introduces new attack surfaces alongside operational benefits.
Formats include intelligence briefings, boardroom-level strategy sessions, tactical training workshops, peer defense councils and war room breach simulations designed to test incident response capabilities.
Regulatory and Compliance Focus
Healthcare organizations face overlapping requirements from HIPAA alongside evolving state and federal mandates. The forum addresses this regulatory complexity, helping attendees develop compliance strategies that align with broader resilience and patient safety objectives.
Who Should Attend
The forum targets CISOs, VPs of Security and senior cyber leaders from health systems, payers, pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, life sciences organizations and medical device manufacturers. Attendees are typically executives and decision-makers responsible for enterprise security strategy.
