Healthcare organizations operate as critical infrastructure, facing unique cybersecurity challenges that mirror operational technology environments found in industrial settings. With systems running outdated operating systems that cannot be easily updated due to manufacturer restrictions, healthcare facilities must prioritize system availability while managing the convergence of traditional IT and OT.

The digital evolution has created a cyber-physical world where HVAC controls, elevator systems and medical devices are interconnected, creating potential attack vectors that can cascade from building systems to patient care systems. While data is strategic to the ecosystem, securing every intersection it passes through is equally critical.

This session, led by Carlos-Raul Sanchez, senior director, OT solution engineer specialist, Fortinet, will cover:

• Network segmentation strategies for cyber-physical healthcare systems and medical devices;
• Visibility and control frameworks for operational technology in distributed environments;
• AI governance and quantum computing preparation for healthcare infrastructure security.
