As deepfake-driven fraud, synthetic identities and credential compromise escalate, healthcare organizations face a growing crisis in identity security.

Unlike other industries, healthcare must balance fraud prevention with seamless access to time-sensitive medical care - a challenge that cybercriminals exploit. Attackers are leveraging AI-generated provider identities, hijacked patient records and compromised remote access credentials to infiltrate electronic health records, insurance claims systems and telehealth platforms.

Traditional identity proofing and authentication methods are no longer sufficient in the face of AI-enabled adversaries. This session will explore how healthcare security leaders can implement cryptographic defenses, risk-based authentication and continuous identity verification to prevent unauthorized access.

The session will cover:

• Governing human and non-human identities across legacy systems, cloud environments and AI agents;
• Implementing phishing-resistant authentication while maintaining clinical workflow continuity;
• Establishing cross-functional AI governance frameworks before widespread agentic adoption.
