March Meeting

Business Resiliency - Business Impact & Beyond

Consider attending the presentation on Enterprise Resiliency by Carrie Whysall, which will discuss the impact of computer disruptions on organizations, with a focus on healthcare providers' experiences and strategies for building robust resilience programs.

In today’s business landscape, disruptions due to cyber incidents are becoming more frequent and costly. Join Carrie Whysall for a comprehensive deep dive into Enterprise Resiliency, focusing on strategies organizations can implement to safeguard operations.
This timely session addresses the harsh realities faced by healthcare providers, illustrated by the CommonSpirit Health ransomware attack, which led to $150M in losses and impacted 142 hospitals across 21 states. Rather than relying on basic contingency planning, healthcare organizations must develop robust, end-to-end resilience programs to protect patient care, ensure operational continuity, and secure critical data. Discover how leading organizations are adopting multidisciplinary approaches to enhance enterprise resilience—integrating technology, business operations, crisis communication, and cybersecurity strategies. This presentation provides practical insights into disaster recovery, clinical continuity, and cybersecurity program assessment, backed by real-world examples and lessons learned from actual incidents.

Whether you’re responsible for technology, operations, or executive leadership in cybersecurity, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to elevate your organization's resiliency in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
