Complimentary Cyber Program Rationalization

Exclusive offer for rural healthcare providers

This year during HIMSS 2026 we’re offering a limited number of qualified healthcare providers the opportunity to register for a complimentary Cyber Program Rationalization exercise.

The goal of these working sessions is not simply to remove tools, but to help healthcare organizations align technology, processes, and security operations into a program that is more efficient, more defensible, and better positioned to protect clinical operations and patient care.

who

This session is intended for senior healthcare leaders directly responsible for cybersecurity, including CIOs, CISOs, VPs and/or Directors of Cybersecurity, and similar roles.

what to expect

We will do deep dive into your security program to identify where controls overlap, where capabilities are underutilized, and where legacy or point solutions may no longer support the organization’s evolving threat landscape.

You’ll leave with a clearer path toward a more streamlined, resilient cybersecurity architecture that improves visibility, strengthens protection, and allows organizations to reinvest resources into the capabilities that matter most.

when

Our team will work to schedule your session for a time that works for all parties.

To get the full benefit of the exercise, a full day (8 hours) should be dedicated to this session. If that is not feasible, it can be done with a minimum of a four (4) hour commitment.

Where

This session can be held at Fortified’s Executive Briefing Center in Brentwood, TN, virtually, or, in some instances, even on-site at your facility.
