Healthcare cybersecurity keeps adding layers. AI workflows, new platforms, more data, and more alerts create workflow friction for clinicians, drown security teams in noise, and leave leaders looking for results.
It can often feel like you’re managing the technology stack more than the risk.
Human-centered security is about bringing the people in “people, process, and technology” back to the forefront to drive real risk reduction through a shared responsibility for protecting patients.
Join this session to discover practical steps to:
Trim stack noise and assign clear ownership so every tool earns its keep
Turn training into habits using champions, plain-language playbooks, and repeatable routines in the context of clinical pressures
Make the case to leadership with a budget story that ties people-first security to resilience and patient care
