Health-ISAC Fall Americas Summit 2026: Device Security for HTM
Health-ISAC (the healthcare sector’s Information Sharing and Analysis Center) holds its 2026 Fall Americas Summit November 30 to December 4, 2026, at the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa in Tucson, AZ. This is a healthcare cybersecurity summit, drawing CISOs, CIOs, and security leaders from across the sector.
It is not an HTM conference. But for the HTM and clinical engineering leaders who increasingly own medical-device security, it is where the broader conversation happens.
Why a security summit belongs on an HTM director’s radar
Medical-device cybersecurity has moved from a niche concern to a board-level risk. In many health systems the responsibility lands on (or is shared with) HTM. Networked infusion pumps, imaging systems, and monitoring devices are now part of the attack surface, and the people who inventory, patch, and decommission them sit in clinical engineering.
Where device security meets enterprise security. Health-ISAC is the venue where the hospital CISO’s world and the HTM director’s world overlap. Medical device security is an established topic area within Health-ISAC’s work. For an HTM leader trying to align device-risk management with the broader security program, this is the room where those counterparts gather.
Threat intelligence that affects your fleet. Health-ISAC’s core mission is sharing threat intelligence across healthcare. The summit surfaces current attack trends, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies, including those affecting connected medical devices. That intelligence directly informs how HTM prioritizes patching, segmentation, and replacement.
Built for decision-makers, not technicians. The summit’s audience is security and IT leadership. Sessions, roundtables, and peer networking are pitched at the strategic level: risk governance, program building, and cross-functional coordination. That is exactly the altitude an HTM director needs to operate at on device security.
A note on scope. This is a high-level security summit, not a device-repair or biomed-operations event. HTM leaders who attend should come for the device-security and risk-governance angle and the chance to build relationships with their CISO-side counterparts, not for traditional HTM education.
Who should attend
HTM directors, clinical engineering managers, and biomed leaders who own or co-own medical-device cybersecurity, plus those building a device-risk program in partnership with their security and IT teams. It is most valuable for the HTM leader who wants a seat at the enterprise-security table.

Bottom line
Health-ISAC’s Fall Summit is worth it for a specific kind of HTM leader: the one whose remit now includes medical-device cybersecurity. It will not deliver HTM operations content, but it will plug you into healthcare’s primary threat-intelligence community and connect you with the security leaders you need to coordinate with. If device security is your problem to solve, this is where the field gathers.
