Healthcare security leaders know that it's not just about stopping cyberattacks - it's about ensuring hospitals, clinics and critical services can continue operating even when systems fail.

Yet, many healthcare organizations remain ill-prepared for cascading failures, supply chain disruptions and extended outages caused by third-party compromises. When an EHR system, cloud provider or medical device network goes down, the consequences extend far beyond data loss - patient care stops.

CISOs must move beyond enterprise risk mitigation to regional resilience planning, recognizing that exclusivity clauses, hidden supply chain dependencies and untested continuity plans create dangerous vulnerabilities that cascade across entire healthcare networks.

The session will cover:

• Mapping critical EMR dependencies and testing continuity plans beyond downtime computers;
• Eliminating vendor exclusivity clauses and establishing redundancy for clinical operations;
• Integrating clinical continuity into regional resilience frameworks across hospital systems.
