Achieving Cyber Resilience in Healthcare


Course

Heather Costa of Mayo Clinic explains why healthcare organizations must shift from prevention-focused cybersecurity to resilience-focused recovery by prioritizing critical services, phased restoration and operational readiness.

Healthcare organizations must prepare for cyber incidents that disrupt patient care rather than relying solely on prevention. This session explains why cyber resilience requires organizations to strengthen recovery capabilities, prioritize mission-critical services and adopt a phased approach to restoration. Drawing on her personal medical experience, Heather Costa, director of technology resilience at Mayo Clinic, illustrates how delays, missteps and infrastructure failures mirror the challenges organizations face during cyberattacks. She also outlines why recovery begins only after effective response and eradication, and why people and processes must come before technology to support long-term operational resilience.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How resilience-focused cybersecurity strengthens healthcare operations beyond prevention;
  • Why minimum viable hospital planning speeds safe, phased recovery;
  • How people, processes and technology work together to sustain patient care during disruption.
