Resilience Is the Strategy: Protecting Patient Care in the Age of AI-Powered Attacks

Resilience Is the Strategy: Protecting Patient Care in the Age of AI-Powered Attacks

Cyberattacks on healthcare are growing more frequent, and AI is accelerating them. Nation-state adversaries are building and using their own models to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, and some AI-driven attacks have been reported to move from initial access to full control in as little as 27 seconds. No human workflow can detect, analyze and respond at that speed. 

That is why resilience matters more than ever. When attacks move this fast, patient care depends on three critical elements remaining operational:  
1. Identity, so clinicians and applications can securely authenticate and access what they need. 
2. Truly immutable data, so patient information remains protected and recoverable.  
3. The critical applications that support care delivery, from the EHR to the systems behind pharmacy, laboratory, communications and imaging services.  

Join Rubrik, a Preferred Cybersecurity & Risk Provider, and a healthcare leader as they discuss how to build resilience into operations and prepare for an increasingly uncertain threat landscape.  

Attendees Will Learn: 

• Why resilience, not prevention alone, is the true measure of cyber readiness.
  AHA Moderator:
• How to define and rehearse the minimum set of systems needed to continue delivering care during a cyber incident (your Minimum Viable Hospital).
• Practical steps to strengthen cyber resilience in the next 90 days.
