Rackspace Technology at ViVE 2026

Moving beyond cybersecurity to enable the minimum viable hospital

Healthcare leaders know cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern. When systems go down, care delivery is at risk. That reality is driving a broader shift from traditional prevention-only security models toward cyber resilience.

At ViVE 2026, Rackspace Technology will be on site to engage with healthcare executives and IT leaders navigating this shift. Our team will join industry peers to explore how resilient cloud foundations help organizations protect patient trust, meet regulatory demands and keep clinical operations running when it matters most.

Cyber resilience as a healthcare imperative

Hospitals are complex digital ecosystems. Clinical systems are only one part of the picture. Core operations such as facilities, staffing, supply chains and administrative services are just as essential to patient outcomes. As cyber threats increase, resilience becomes the true indicator of readiness.

Cyber resilience is about maintaining a minimum viable hospital. By connecting security, cloud architecture and operations, healthcare organizations can sustain essential care and hospital-wide operations during disruption. This reduces impact to patients, protects operational continuity and reputation and ultimately helps prevent loss of life, transforming cybersecurity from a reactive function into an operational imperative.
