Take your cybersecurity strategy to the next level with powerful insights on securing modern healthcare delivery, bridging the digital divide, and translating complex security tech into executive business language. It’s time to rethink patient care availability, move beyond legacy castle-and-moat models, and adopt platform-based zero trust architectures. Who better to guide you through it than U.S. Marine Corps veteran, published author, and Healthcare CISO at Zscaler, Chris Logan?
You will learn how ambient AI is transforming clinical workflows, why health systems must consolidate point solutions into platform security to speed up M&A, and how servant leadership builds resilient, high-performing security teams. Get motivated to speak the language of business executives, protect critical patient care environments, and open career doors for the next generation of cyber leaders!
Takeaways:
- Securing Care Everywhere: Healthcare has shifted from hospital-centric care to decentralized delivery across home, mobile, and wearable devices, making system availability vital to preventing negative patient outcomes.
- Leading with Business Outcomes Over Tech: Security leaders must frame investments in terms of clinical continuity, patient care, and revenue impact rather than technical jargon to win CFO and board support.
- The Rise of Ambient AI in Clinics: Ambient AI listening tools are relieving clinicians of manual EMR documentation during visits, restoring eye contact and the human relationship between doctor and patient.
- Platform Consolidation vs. Point Solution Noise: Health systems need platform-based security and the "80/20 rule" to reduce software sprawl, cut costs, and shorten clinic onboarding times from 18 months down to weeks.
- Servant Leadership & "Good Leaders Eat Last": True cyber leadership requires approachability, conducting skip-level check-ins, allowing teams room to fail forward, and opening doors for others to grow.

"If you lead with technology when speaking to your board or CFO, you've already failed. They don't care about the technology, they care about the business outcome." - Chris Logan
