When Ransomware Hits During a Health Emergency

IoT Security Podcast

Jeffrey Vinson, Senior VP and CISO at Harris Health System, has held leadership positions for much of his life, from military to federal to state government. It was a natural progression for him to move from IT to what he calls a “Pure Cyber Guy.” Vinson joins Brian and John on the show today to answer the question, “What makes up your special forces in cyber?”

In healthcare, it’s about saving lives, and cybersecurity is a patient safety issue. Vinson talks about the balancing act between patient safety and data privacy, HIPPA compliance, and legislation.

Breaches are on the rise year over year, so clearly work needs to be done. Where does the buck stop on where confidential information lives? IoT devices, including cameras and printers and medical equipment, are providing inroads for attackers, but the industry has concerns over device downtime.
