ABOUT THE SUMMIT

A Landmark Collaboration in Healthcare Security

The Healthcare Security & Risk Summit (HSRS) 2026 is a curated, executive-level forum co-hosted by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, one of Canada’s most distinguished academic health institutions, a fully affiliated teaching hospital of the University of Toronto and home to the country’s largest trauma centre, and NKST, a trusted cybersecurity research and collaboration organization.

HSRS is a focused, high-signal environment where strategic security conversations translate into real partnerships and measurable outcomes. Attendees are the leaders accountable for the resilience of EHR systems, medical IoT environments, clinical infrastructure, AI-enabled diagnostics, and patient data platforms.

Together, Sunnybrook and NKST bridge frontline healthcare operations with cybersecurity strategy, ensuring that the systems supporting patient care remain resilient, secure, and uninterrupted in the face of evolving threats.
