Part 1: The State of Networking, Security & AI in Healthcare

Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver seamless, always-on digital care while defending against escalating cyber threats - all with lean teams and growing infrastructure complexity.

Nile's Networking, Security & AI in Healthcare report - based on 300+ CIOs, CISOs, IT leaders, and practitioners across the global healthcare sector - reveals an industry under pressure from every direction, where security especially has become an operational crisis as we enter the AI-era.

The findings are clear:

• Nearly 85% experience periodic network disruptions that impact patient care, with 38% disrupted at least weekly
• Over 65% of IT teams are strained or firefighting, and only 18% are comfortably managing operations

This is not a set of isolated issues - it's a structural challenge.

In this session, you'll learn about:

• The primary drivers of risk and complexity across the modern healthcare network
• How leaders are thinking about clinical disruption, Zero Trust, and compliance - and what's top of mind
• How leading institutions are using AI and new architectures, including Network-as-a-Service, to scale securely

Join Shashi Kiran, CMO at Nile and Walter Choto, VP Operations at Washington Hospital as they look beyond individual technologies to define what operational maturity and secure, resilient healthcare networking looks like in the AI era.
