About the Summit:
The following is from the Cybermed Summit Announcement & Organizers:
Cyberattacks on hospitals and healthcare infrastructure are a growing threat to public safety. Cybersecurity impacts from ransomware or other events have shuttered some healthcare institutions, already under stressors, like increased patient loads, a lack of healthcare professionals, and financial pressures.
The CyberMed Summit was founded to address timely and actionable issues in healthcare cybersecurity – and we continue that mission on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at George Washington University in Washington, DC.
This year’s summit will feature discussions led by healthcare providers, cybersecurity researchers, public health policymakers, representatives of rural healthcare, and more. The event will focus on improving long-term resilience and sustainability of the public health sector, examining effectiveness and efficiency of so-called “best efforts” to date. Using real world examples, we will help to build a better framework for improving healthcare cybersecurity, drawing on public policy, operational experience, and economics.
