 Overview 

CyberCert, Cymax, and Qbit present speakers from across the sector, from hospital and health practices, to the SMBs who serve via them, to share the simple SMB cyber pathway that addresses privacy obligations, director duties, and supply chain risks at scale.

Join health sector peers and key suppliers. You will leave with direct, actionable outcomes to get your practice and supply chains certified so you can focus on delivering safe patient care.

The Mission: The Safety Certificate Revolution

The SMB Cyber Gap is no longer just a technical issue. It is a patient safety, compliance, and supply-chain crisis. Traditional questionnaires and point-in-time audits leave significant blind spots and do not scale.

This summit is designed to remove subjectivity in all SMB cyber contexts. We are moving from "policies and promises" to objective, certifiable proof that stands up to scrutiny from regulators, accreditation bodies, and insurers.
