Webinar to examine how attackers use AI in healthcare cybersecurity

The American Hospital Association will host a webinar May 5 at 1 p.m. ET on artificial intelligence threats in healthcare. John Riggi, the AHA's national advisor for cybersecurity and risk, will moderate the discussion.

The webinar will cover three core topics: how adversaries deploy AI for attacks, which emerging threats healthcare organizations should monitor, and responsible AI adoption practices that reduce organizational risk.

Scott Trevino, senior vice president of cybersecurity for TRIMEDX, will discuss the evolving threat environment and offer practical guidance for healthcare IT teams and security leaders.

What to expect

The session targets healthcare professionals responsible for security strategy and technology decisions. Attendees will hear from practitioners managing real-world threats against hospitals and health systems.

Healthcare remains a high-value target for cyberattacks. The sector faces pressure from both financially motivated actors and nation-state groups using AI-assisted techniques.

Related developments

The timing aligns with broader industry action on healthcare security. Federal agencies including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the FBI have released recent guidance on adopting AI systems safely. The AHA and Joint Commission launched the Cyber Resilience Readiness program on May 4 to help hospitals assess their security posture.

Professionals working in healthcare IT and cybersecurity can explore foundational knowledge through an AI Learning Path for Cybersecurity Analysts or review broader applications in AI for Healthcare.
