Denise Anderson

President & CEO, Health-ISAC

Denise Anderson serves as President and CEO of Health-ISAC (Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center), providing critical intelligence that empowers healthcare organizations to defend themselves against cyber and physical threats. Drawing on thirty years of executive leadership and a unique background as a certified EMT, Firefighter, and Instructor, she brings practical emergency response expertise to cybersecurity governance.

Anderson’s influence extends far beyond her current role – to her work as Chair of the National Council of ISACs, where she coordinates information sharing across numerous critical infrastructure sectors. Her international impact is evident through advisory positions across Japan, Singapore, and the European Union, while her board memberships with the Global Resilience Federation and Cyber Future Foundation further amplify her voice in shaping security policy. Recently cited for her insights on healthcare resilience following the landmark Change Healthcare ransomware attack, Anderson continues advocating for strengthened vendor redundancy and cross-sector collaboration.
