About the Show
Insights from the Shadows of Enterprise and Patient Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity and Privacy have become increasingly complicated not only from a technology perspective but also regarding the purely human responses needed to data breaches. Most healthcare systems don’t care to share insights on how their cybersecurity systems were cracked, and even fewer wish to share how they got their data back whether through sleuth technology or by direct financial negotiations using cryptocurrencies. Join host Frank Cutitta on Health Stealth Radio and his guests as they discuss the more covert and edgy aspects of healthcare security that can’t always be found in vendor sales brochures or the enterprise breach response playbooks of CISOs.
