Part 2: The State of Networking, Security & AI in Healthcare, Research and Education

When clinical care, academics, administration, and research come together in one complex, interconnected environment, network disruptions can affect students, staff, clinicians, and patients. Industry reports indicate that over 80% to 85% of significant clinical and operational disruptions in healthcare stem from network connectivity failures, cloud service outages, or active cyber incidents.

In Nile's Networking, Security & AI in Healthcare report, which surveyed over 300 healthcare IT leaders and practitioners, we found that network disruptions and security gaps have become an accepted norm.

Our findings are clear:

• Nearly 85% experience disruptions that affect workflows
• 66% of IT teams are strained, understaffed, or constantly firefighting
• 61% are not confident or only slightly confident in their ability to contain a cyber incident

These insights point to a structural challenge underpinning IT organizations today.

In this session, you'll learn about:

• New trends and unique challenges that impact Research, Higher Education and Healthcare environments
• Strategic recommendations for modernizing enterprise-class operations and reducing network cost
• How a modern network architecture can boost performance and security compliance

Join Shashi Kiran, CMO at Nile, and Shailesh Shenoy, Assistant Dean of IT at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, for a practical discussion about insights from real-world experts and what these findings mean for IT.
