The overlapping demands of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are becoming increasingly important as the two become increasingly intertwined in healthcare in a number of interesting and challenging ways.
For example, AI is increasingly being deployed as a critical frontline tool for risk detection and incident response, while bad actors are also using machine learning and genAI techniques for increasingly creative and aggressive exploits – a double-edged sword that will only continue to be sharpened as both good and bad people continue to innovate the way they use AI.
AI and cybersecurity are two very different disciplines, but they have more and more in common. Moreover, the value of risk management is more important than ever for both disciplines.
The coming HIMSS Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum is scheduled for October 31 and November 1 in Washington, DC. The two days will feature sessions on topics such as cyber resilience for supply chains and post-merger and acquisition change management.
In one of the presentations, HIMSS Senior Principal For Cybersecurity And Privacy Lee Kim will give a talk on the intersection of information security and AI – specifically how the former can be applied to the latter to ensure safe and responsible use of algorithms in provider environments. We recently caught up with her to talk about this and more.
