Abstract

The ISTS and the Dartmouth College Cybersecurity Cluster hosted the successful, inaugural Cyber-Resilient Health Care (CRHC) Workshop, March 5th & 6th, 2026. The event theme was "Innovation and Implementation," in response to the need to shift from reactive to proactive resiliency measures in the healthcare sector. Approximately 30 experts in clinical health care, cybersecurity, medical technology, policy, and innovation met to discuss solution-focused innovations addressing hard, cyber-related problems in health care. The agenda featured keynotes, an expert panel, innovation pitches, small group discussions, and a tabletop infrastructure disaster exercise. Participants gained insights into the obstacles and solutions involved in supporting patients and defending this critical sector from organized cyber crime, terrorist threats, and chronic system impedances. Cross-cutting themes included methods for understanding and managing complex systems, and ways to directly confront the tension between data confidentiality and availability in a safety-critical industry with a complex regulatory structure. The ISTS and the Cybersecurity Cluster look forward to hosting further iterations of this event in 2027 and beyond.
