About the Show
We Have TRUST Issues
Think Like a Fighter Pilot. Defend Like a Black Belt.
Like navigating the split-second decisions of a dogfight or the calculated moves of a Jiu-Jitsu match, securing healthcare data in a zero trust environment means questioning everything and everyone, because in cybersecurity, blind trust gets you taken down. Tune in to We Have TRUST Issues with Tamer Baker, Healthcare CTO, and Steve Hajny, Healthcare Technology Evangelist, at Zscaler. As a former fighter pilot and a Jiu-Jitsu black belt, respectively, both hosts know that anticipating an attacker’s next move is a mindset essential for zero trust security. In each episode, Tamer, Steve, and their guests from health systems across the country, discuss the latest cyber trends and deliver actionable strategies for implementing zero trust principles, assuming every user, device, and network connection could be a potential threat. The show is your training ground for defending patient data in a world where trust is earned, never assumed.
Tune In at: 8 am, 4 pm and 12 am ET
