Faster Access, Safer Experiences: Identity-First Security in Healthcare

Faster Access, Safer Experiences: Identity-First Security in Healthcare

Monday, March 3, 2025 1:35 PM to 1:50 PM · 15 min. (US/Pacific)
Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum

Information

Behind every patient touchpoint is a complex web of systems that manage and protect the most sensitive information. When these systems are compromised, the consequences go far beyond data breaches; cyberattacks like ransomware don't just threaten security, they threaten lives. When hospital systems go down, patient records become inaccessible – delaying critical care and disrupting operations. To combat these risks, healthcare organizations must embrace identity-based security that defends against cyber threats without compromising care. Join John Riggi, National Advisor for Cybersecurity and Risk at the AHA, and CLEAR’s Head of Healthcare, David Bardan, as they explore the rising cyber threats in healthcare, the risks of compromised security, and how healthcare organizations can bridge the gap between protection and patient care.
