How AI Can Strengthen Healthcare Cybersecurity

How AI Can Strengthen Healthcare Cybersecurity: Key Insights from H-ISAC As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, healthcare organizations must leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance cybersecurity defenses—particularly in digital identity verification and fraud detection, according to a new Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (H-ISAC) white paper. The Rising Threat: AI-Powered Cyberattacks Cybercriminals are increasingly using AI to craft advanced attacks, such as: H-ISAC warns that while attackers exploit AI for malicious purposes, healthcare Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) should also focus on AI-driven defense strategies. 3 Key Ways AI Can Secure Healthcare Systems 1. AI-Powered Identity Verification Healthcare organizations can use AI to:✔ Analyze security features on identity documents (e.g., driver’s licenses, passports)✔ Detect deepfakes in remote job interviews and meetings using liveness detection✔ Flag suspicious applicants by cross-referencing IP addresses, device data, and known fraud databases “Fraud detection systems using AI can review an individual’s IP address, device information, and other metrics to spot anomalous behavior.” — H-ISAC 2. Automating Identity Governance & Access Control Managing hundreds of digital identities with varying access levels is a major challenge. AI can streamline Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) by:✔ Automating access certifications (reducing manual review burdens)✔ Customizing role-based access controls based on job functions✔ Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., HIPAA) “For managers overseeing large groups, AI-driven automation can save hours of manual access reviews.” 3. Phishing & Social Engineering Defense AI enhances threat detection by:✔ Identifying phishing emails with unnatural language patterns✔ Detecting fraudulent callers in healthcare call centers✔ Blocking social engineering attempts before breaches occur The Bottom Line: AI as a Cybersecurity Force Multiplier “AI is here to stay. Attackers will continue to leverage it for harm, but defenders can use the same technology to protect critical systems.” — H-ISAC Key Takeaways for Healthcare CISOs ✅ Deploy AI-driven identity verification to combat deepfakes & fraud.✅ Automate IGA processes to improve compliance & efficiency.✅ Use AI-enhanced monitoring to detect phishing & social engineering. By adopting AI-powered cybersecurity tools, healthcare organizations can stay ahead of evolving threats while safeguarding sensitive patient data.

Salesforce Data Cloud Hits $900M in Revenue, Powering the Future of AI-Driven Business As AI evolves toward autonomous agents, unified data has become the backbone of enterprise intelligence—ensuring accuracy, compliance, and actionable insights. Without it, AI outputs grow unreliable, and compliance risks surge. Salesforce Data Cloud is addressing this challenge by unifying fragmented data sources, enabling smarter AI-powered experiences. The platform just hit a major milestone in FY25, reaching 0M in annual recurring revenue (ARR)—a testament to its rapid adoption. Why Data Cloud Stands Out Unlike traditional data solutions that require costly overhauls, Data Cloud enables real-time data activation with:✔ Zero-copy architecture (no data duplication)✔ 270+ pre-built connectors (Zendesk, Shopify, Snowflake, and more)✔ Unified structured & unstructured data processing Rahul Auradkar, EVP & GM of Unified Data Services and Einstein at Salesforce, explains: “Data Cloud is the leading data activation layer because it harmonizes data from any source—powering every AI action, automation, and insight. Our hyperscale capabilities, governance, and open ecosystem help enterprises break down silos, creating the foundation for trusted AI.” The Strategic Power of Unified Data Data Cloud acts as an intelligent activation layer, pulling data from warehouses, lakes, CRMs, and external systems to create a single customer view. This fuels: Insulet, a medical device company, leveraged Data Cloud to enhance customer experiences. Amit Guliani, acting CTO, says: “Unified data helps us move from insights to action—delivering personalized solutions that simplify life for people with diabetes.” Industry Recognition & Real-World Impact Salesforce Data Cloud has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Customer Data Platforms and praised by IDC, Forrester, and Constellation Research. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts uses it to transform guest experiences. Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, shares: “Data Cloud gives our agents a unified view of reservations, loyalty, and CRM data—letting us anticipate needs and personalize stays across thousands of properties.” The Future: Agentic AI Powered by Real-Time Data Data Cloud is the foundation for autonomous AI agents, enabling:🔹 Proactive workflows (agents triggered by customer behavior)🔹 Self-optimizing operations (automated risk detection, dynamic responses)🔹 Trusted governance (GDPR compliance, access controls, security) Adam Berlew, CMO at Equinix, notes: “Data Cloud is shifting our marketing strategy, enabling AI-powered personalization and automation at scale—key to our competitive edge.” Conclusion: AI Runs on Unified Data As businesses transition to AI-first models, Salesforce Data Cloud ensures:✅ Agents act autonomously with real-time, trusted data✅ Humans focus on strategy while AI handles routine tasks✅ Every interaction is hyper-personalized With $900M in ARR and rapid enterprise adoption, Data Cloud is proving to be the essential engine for the next wave of AI-driven business. Key Takeaways: Salesforce Data Cloud isn’t just unifying data—it’s powering the future of intelligent business.

AgentForce Flex Pricing

Salesforce Introduces Flexible Pricing for Agentforce to Accelerate AI Adoption Across Enterprises Salesforce, the global leader in AI-powered CRM, last week announced a new flexible pricing model for Agentforce, its digital labor platform, designed to meet surging demand for AI-driven automation across every employee, department, and business process. As AI adoption accelerates, CIOs face mounting pressure to balance innovation with cost control. According to Salesforce’s CIO AI Trends research, 90% of IT leaders say managing AI expenses is hindering their ability to drive value—a challenge underscored by recent findings from CIO.com. To address this, Salesforce is introducing three groundbreaking pricing innovations that empower businesses to scale AI adoption efficiently, align costs with outcomes, and adapt investments as needs evolve: 1. Flex Credits: Pay Only for the AI Actions You Use Moving beyond traditional per-conversation pricing, Salesforce now offers Flex Credits, a consumption-based model where customers pay only for the specific AI actions performed—whether updating records, automating workflows, or resolving cases. 2. Flex Agreement: Shift Investments Between Human & Digital Labor The new Flex Agreement allows organizations to dynamically reallocate budgets—converting user licenses into Flex Credits (or vice versa)—ensuring optimal resource allocation as business priorities shift. 3. Agentforce User Licenses & Add-Ons: Unlimited AI for Every Employee Salesforce is simplifying AI adoption with per-user-per-month (PUPM) pricing, offering unlimited employee-facing AI agent usage. Seamlessly integrated with Salesforce and Slack, these licenses eliminate usage caps, enabling businesses to deploy AI at scale across sales, service, HR, and IT.

U.S. Government Secures Major Discounts on Slack for Federal Agencies

U.S. Government Secures Major Discounts on Slack for Federal Agencies Through New GSA-Salesforce Partnership May 19, 2025 – In a major step to boost federal efficiency, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has signed a landmark OneGov agreement with Salesforce, slashing the cost of Slack for government agencies. The deal provides deep discounts on Slack’s enterprise collaboration tools, enabling federal offices to modernize operations while cutting costs. Key Details of the Agreement Under the new terms, federal agencies will receive: These reduced rates will be available until November 30, 2025, giving agencies a six-month window to adopt the platform at significantly lower costs. Unlike past agreements, where agencies negotiated individual discounts, this deal leverages the total purchasing power of the federal government, ensuring better pricing and streamlined procurement. The move reflects the GSA’s push to centralize IT acquisitions, eliminating redundancies and maximizing savings. Leadership and Strategic Goals Josh Gruenbaum, GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner, highlighted the partnership’s significance: “Through the OneGov initiative, we’re demonstrating that the federal government is a strong partner for industry, securing top-tier tools at the best value for taxpayers.” The OneGov program, backed by the current administration, aims to foster long-term partnerships with tech providers, potentially leading to more discounted offerings in the coming fiscal year. Boosting Government Productivity Slack, now part of Salesforce, serves as a unified hub for communication, app integration, and AI-driven workflows. Its adoption across federal agencies could improve interdepartmental collaboration, reduce inefficiencies, and accelerate decision-making. The inclusion of Slack AI for Enterprise introduces advanced automation, helping agencies process data faster and optimize operations—a critical advantage for large, complex organizations. A Shift in Federal Tech Procurement This agreement signals a broader move toward modernizing government IT infrastructure while controlling costs. As noted by NextGov, the deal is part of GSA’s strategy to offer cost-effective, scalable solutions under the OneGov framework. By standardizing collaboration tools across agencies, the federal government could enhance interoperability, reduce reliance on fragmented systems, and lower long-term technical debt. Looking Ahead Industry analysts suggest that this partnership could pave the way for more AI and cloud-based solutions in government. The steep discounts may drive rapid adoption, setting a precedent for future public-private tech collaborations. As agencies integrate Slack into their workflows, the impact on federal productivity and service delivery will be closely monitored—potentially serving as a model for future digital transformation efforts.
