Agenda

8:10–8:30 AM | Welcome to the MedTech Seminar

Cybersecurity in healthcare is no longer simply a technical concern—it is a patient-safety issue. A vulnerable medical device or misconfigured system can affect clinical operations and human lives. The 16th Cyber Security Summit MedTech Seminar focuses on strengthening cyber resilience across healthcare and medical devices while keeping people and patient safety at the center.

N. Michelle Greeley, Co-Chair, MedTech Seminar | Solera Health

8:30–9:00 AM | AI Is Hacking Healthcare: Tools or New Attack Surfaces?

AI is rapidly becoming part of healthcare—but every new model can introduce a new attack surface. From manipulated clinical decision support to data poisoning, the risks are increasingly real. This session examines how AI can fail, mislead or be exploited and what it takes to build healthcare systems that are not only intelligent, but secure and trustworthy.

Vitaly Herasevich, Professor of Anesthesiology and Medicine | Mayo Clinic

9:00–9:30 AM | The Complexity Problem: Why Humans Can’t Do This Alone

AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery and dramatically increasing the volume of researcher reports facing medical-device security teams. This session explores how AI can help organizations keep pace while addressing the challenges of volume, accuracy and AI-generated reporting—and where human expertise remains essential.

Peter Kapelanski, Senior Manager, Vulnerability Vigilance | Medtronic

9:30–9:50 AM | MedTech EXPO Break

Connect with MedTech cybersecurity innovators, explore solutions and continue the conversation with fellow healthcare security professionals.

9:50–10:50 AM | Fact or Fiction: What Good Looks Like in Medical Device Security

What does progress really look like in medical-device cybersecurity? In this interactive, game-show-style session, industry leaders challenge common assumptions and myths surrounding secure-by-design, procurement, AI and shared responsibility. Live audience polling will reveal where the industry is making progress—and where collaboration and operational maturity still need to grow.

11:00 AM–12:00 PM | General Session: The Decision Gap: Leading at Machine Speed Without Losing Control

AI is shrinking the time between detection and action, creating a growing gap between machine speed and human oversight. This keynote examines how organizations can responsibly use AI-driven automation while preserving accountability, governance and trust—and how to design security architectures that keep humans firmly in control.

Bill Carter, National Director of Cybersecurity Strategy | Fortinet

12:00–12:45 PM | Networking Lunch

12:45–1:15 PM | Controlled Intelligence: AI Innovation Without Compliance Risk

AI is transforming MedTech faster than governance can keep pace. With healthcare organizations navigating HIPAA, FDA requirements, SOC 2, the EU AI Act, ISO standards and more, this session examines how to innovate responsibly while managing compliance risk and consolidating overlapping frameworks into a practical, unified program.

Mitchell Rothstein, Manager | EisnerAmper
Kate Siegrist, Partner, National Technology Assurance Leader | EisnerAmper

1:15–1:45 PM | The Checkpoint That Isn’t: When Human-in-the-Loop Fails

AI can inform the decision, but humans remain accountable for the outcome. This session examines what happens when a human checkpoint exists in theory but fails in practice—and how organizations can design meaningful oversight that preserves judgment, accountability and trust rather than creating a false sense of security.

Arun Batchu, Advancing the Future of MedTech Workforce Instructor | Technological Leadership Institute
Shannon Seaver, Executive Director | Stone Arch Collective

1:45–2:15 PM | MedTech EXPO Break

Take a break, explore the MedTech EXPO and connect with solution providers and fellow healthcare cybersecurity professionals.

2:15–2:45 PM | From Algorithms to AI Accountability: Building the Workforce

AI is reshaping healthcare, but its long-term impact depends on keeping humans at the center. Explore the evolving roles and skills needed across providers, medical-device manufacturers, covered entities and health information exchanges, along with practical approaches to workforce upskilling, governance, ethics, accountability, bias mitigation and trust.

Phil Englert, VP Medical Device Security | Health-ISAC

2:50–3:50 PM | Beyond the Vulnerability Score: A Proactive Device Security Model

A vulnerability score tells us what could happen—not whether a device is exposed, behaving unexpectedly or supporting critical care. This panel explores a more proactive model incorporating device behavior, clinical importance, lifecycle status, real-world exposure, secure-by-design practices and compensating controls, while examining how manufacturers, providers and government can share information and expectations.

Pandian Gnaprakasam, CEO | ORDR
Odutola “Tola” Amusan, Principal Information Security Analyst | Mayo Clinic
Phil Englert, VP Medical Device Security | Health-ISAC

4:00–4:45 PM | General Session: Human Led. AI Powered Debate — Where Should We Draw the Line?

Move beyond the traditional panel into a fast-paced debate exploring where humans should lead and where AI should take the reins. Cybersecurity leaders will tackle autonomous defense, ethics, accountability, privacy and trust. With structured debate, live polling and audience Q&A, discover where consensus exists—and where the human line must be drawn.
