As healthcare systems become increasingly digital and interconnected, cybersecurity is now inseparable from patient safety and clinical continuity. Winter Cyber Solutions Fest 2026: Healthcare convenes cybersecurity professionals, healthcare leaders, policymakers, and innovators to strengthen the industry’s ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from evolving cyber threats.

This year’s theme—Building Cyber-Resilient Healthcare Systems—focuses on embedding resilience, zero-trust principles, and rapid response frameworks across hospitals, research institutions, and public health networks. With ransomware, AI-driven threats, and supply chain vulnerabilities growing in frequency and impact, coordinated cyber response and recovery are essential to protecting patient care and trust.

Attendees will gain actionable insights through interactive sessions on incident response, digital forensics, business continuity, and ransomware defense aligned to NIST, ISO, HITECH, HIPAA, and other standards. Emerging topics include AI-enabled threat detection, quantum-ready encryption, medical device security, and data privacy in hybrid cloud ecosystems.
