Healthcare organizations are increasingly targeted by cyber threats, posing significant risks to patient data and safety. Sakshi Porwal, Global Chief Information Security Officer at Compunnel, is set to address these challenges at the HIMSS 2025 conference. With 17 years of experience in global cybersecurity, Porwal will share comprehensive strategies for protecting patient data in a digital environment fraught with threats like ransomware and phishing schemes.
Porwal's presentation will delve into proactive defense mechanisms and innovative security frameworks essential for fortifying healthcare digital infrastructures. Among the strategies to be discussed are the Zero Trust Security Models and AI-driven threat detection technologies, which Compunnel specializes in. These approaches are critical for enhancing identity verification, access control, and overall data security in healthcare settings.
Furthermore, Porwal will highlight the importance of regulatory compliance in healthcare cybersecurity, referencing frameworks such as HIPAA and GDPR. Her insights are drawn from her recent publication, "Assuring Patient Privacy and Safety through Robust Enterprise Cyber Risk Management (ECRM)", underscoring the vital link between cybersecurity measures and patient trust.
The HIMSS 2025 conference serves as a key forum for technology and healthcare policy leaders to explore digital health security strategies. Porwal's participation underscores the necessity for advanced, adaptable cybersecurity solutions to protect sensitive healthcare information in an era where digital threats are ever-evolving.
