Fireside Chat: Why You Should Care That the Web Browser is Ubiquitous in Healthcare

This session is part of the Healthcare Cybersecurity Preconference Forum and requires additional registration.

Web browsers are the backbone of healthcare IT—used across hospitals, clinics, research labs, pharmaceutical companies, and insurers. They facilitate access to Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), making them a prime target for cyber threats. Yet, traditional defenses like Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) and Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) fail to close critical browser vulnerabilities.

In this fireside chat, cybersecurity experts will explore how Highly Evasive and Adaptable Threats (HEAT)—including LURE (Legacy Reputation URL Evasion), HTML Smuggling, and password-protected file exploits—bypass legacy protections and pose risks to PHI. Learn how today’s Zero Trust strategies align with HIPAA mandates and discover emerging browser security innovations that enhance protection, prevent data loss, and support compliance.
