In this episode of The Risk Perspective CynergisTek's Dave Bailey (VP, Security Services) and Morgan Habecker (Manager, Red Team) discuss internet-connected devices from smart ovens to fusion pumps through the lens of healthcare (and nonhealthcare) cybersecurity. Listen as these two dive into IoT, what it is, their focus to do what they were designed to do (which surprise! isn't to fend off cyber-attacks), and overall threats/vulnerabilities + how to better protect against them.

In this “Say What!?” series, our guests discuss why a collaborative working relationship is critical to the success of both privacy and security and how the two can work effectively together. This is a panel discussion, that originates from 2020’s CTEK Summit. It incorporates security and privacy polling data taken from our community that helps drive the conversation. The panel consists of Fred Bishop, the Information Security Officer at UC Health in Cincinnati, David Finn CTEK EVP, and former CIO, Andrew Mahler CTEK  Sr. Manager of Privacy Services, and CTEK Executive Advisor and Compliance guru Marti Arvin (who helps with moderating the discussion). Together our panel dives into the topics of reporting structure, and the tension between a health enterprise and the university within an academic medical center in this part one of our “Say What!?” series.
