Clearwater Joins CancerX to Help Drive Strong Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Practices in the Fight Against Cancer

Clearwater announced that it has joined CancerX as the organization’s first member company and accelerator champion focused on advancing strong cybersecurity and data privacy practices in the fight against cancer. As part of its involvement, Clearwater will contribute its expertise and resources to educating CancerX community members, including the organization’s recently announced 2025 Accelerator cohort, on how to build cybersecurity and privacy programs that align with best practices and healthcare industry standards.

In its mission to drive innovation in the fight against cancer, CancerX develops tools, such as digital solutions to improve cancer patient care coordination and communication, new software technology to help community organizations meet cancer patients where they are, and new platforms to support patients with their post-treatment care.

CancerX Champions include several leading oncology organizations, including health systems, cancer centers, pharmaceutical companies, investors and other recognized networks of hospitals, dedicated to advancing innovation in Oncology.

“Clearwater is honored to join such a prestigious group of organizations that are dedicated to addressing critical challenges in oncology,” says Clearwater CEO Steve Cagle. “As a Champion, our role is to help ensure that innovation advances unabated by concern over the security and privacy of data and systems. We are pleased to lend our expertise as part of Clearwater’s mission to move more organizations across the healthcare ecosystem to a more secure, compliant, and resilient state so they can achieve their mission.”

As an initial part of its CancerX contribution, Clearwater team members are participating in the Moffitt Innovation Summit taking place at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., March 18 and 19. The Clearwater team also will be presenting an educational session for CancerX community members on April 23.

“As we advance innovation in this field, we still need to ensure that we do no harm to our patients, especially as it relates to protecting their information, and our networks and systems in turn. A member like Clearwater enables us to add confidence to our innovation process and addresses a key enabler of innovation which is much needed today,” said Dr. Kamal Jethwani, VP of Digital Ventures and CancerX Lead at Moffitt Cancer Center.
