Uniting Cybersecurity Leaders for Resilient Healthcare
Quarterly Meeting Series
Overview:
Rural and critical access hospitals face a unique set of cybersecurity challenges—limited staff, aging infrastructure, constrained budgets, and no shortage of risk. Clearwater’s Rural Critical Access Connect is your quarterly opportunity to connect, learn, and lead alongside professionals who understand exactly what you’re up against.
Each session begins with a focused, relevant briefing from Jackie Mattingly, PhD, CHPS, CHISL, CISSP—Clearwater’s Senior Director of Consulting Services and former CISO of Owensboro Health. Jackie brings real-world insight from the front lines, supporting rural hospitals across the country as they defend against emerging threats, navigate regulatory changes, and build cyber resilience with limited resources.
Then, it’s your turn. The second half of each meeting is all about you. Bring your questions. Talk shop. Share challenges. Discuss the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Or just take a breath and vent with people who actually get how tough your job is.
Minimal slides. No fluff. Just real conversations for real defenders in rural healthcare cybersecurity.
Join us.
