In the wake of the recent Change Healthcare cyberattack and the alarming rise in Account Takeover (ATO) incidents, it is more crucial than ever for healthcare leaders to bolster their cybersecurity strategies. The healthcare industry remains the top target for cyberattacks, underscoring the urgent need for advanced security measures. Passwordless authentication is finally beginning to see broad implementation, with passkeys providing a strong boost in user awareness and adoption over the past year. According to a recent FIDO Alliance survey, more than half of respondents reported setting up a passkey. However, today’s solutions still have room for innovation: stronger security, better experiences, and more user control over data.

What if we could revolutionize the entire paradigm? Not just for account login, but for registration and robust protection against AI-driven authentication threats like voice and video deep fakes? Enter decentralized identity (DCI). Among its many promising applications in the identity landscape, DCI’s verifiable credentials hold immense potential to elevate passwordless authentication to new heights. Join this session to discover how the right blend of existing and emerging technologies can transform this vision into reality, providing healthcare organizations with the tools they need to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

With the threat landscape continuing to intensify over time, what are some of the leading-edge strategies that forward-thinking health IT leaders are engaging in around cybersecurity? A panel of experts and industry leaders will discuss advanced strategies and techniques, and the growing list of vulnerabilities that patient care organizations are facing these days.
