Life Sciences Cybersecurity, Biosecurity & Data Risk LAB

Feb 1, 2027 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Held ahead of ACI’s Cybersecurity, AI Governance & Digital Risk Summit, February 2–3

LEARN ∙ APPLY ∙ BENCHMARK

Protecting clinical trials, research data, genomic assets, suppliers and federal contracts before the next cyber or biosecurity disruption.

Life sciences companies are facing a new risk reality: clinical data, research assets, AI systems, CROs, vendors, genomic data, supply chains and federal contracts are all becoming targets for cyber, privacy, biosecurity and geopolitical scrutiny.

This pre-conference LAB is a practical, scenario-driven working day designed to help legal, compliance, privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory, clinical operations, research security, procurement and data governance teams pressure-test how they protect sensitive life sciences assets before an incident, supplier flag, trial disruption or government inquiry hits.

Through focused discussions, peer benchmarking and a final tabletop exercise, attendees will work through the risks that matter most now: clinical trial and research data protection, CRO/vendor oversight, cross-border data access, genomic data governance, AI use, federal expectations, biosecurity concerns and third-party incident response.

What Will You Learn at the Life Sciences Cybersecurity, Biosecurity & Data Risk LAB

  • How can you better protect clinical trial and research data
    Examine risks across clinical research environments and identify practical steps for protecting sensitive data before a cyber incident or disruption occurs.

  • How should you manage cybersecurity risk across CROs, vendors and other third parties
    Benchmark approaches to third-party oversight, contractual protections, data access and incident response when critical research and clinical operations depend on outside partners.

  • How are genomic data and cross-border access changing the risk landscape
    Explore the growing privacy, security, biosecurity and geopolitical concerns surrounding genomic and other sensitive life sciences data.

  • What does secure and responsible AI use look like in life sciences
    Address the governance, security and data risks that arise as AI becomes more deeply embedded in research, clinical and business operations.

  • How should teams prepare for a cyber or biosecurity incident before it happens
    Pressure-test roles, escalation procedures and cross-functional response through practical discussion and a culminating tabletop exercise.
