The Human Cost of Ransomware

Chris Kousoulas Season 2 Episode 7

In this episode, we explore the hidden human cost of major cyber incidents—the stress on IT teams, the disruption to patient care, the executives forced into impossible decisions, and the ripple effects felt by everyday people who rely on critical systems. Beyond the technical breakdown, we examine how breaches impact lives, strain organizations, and expose the fragile human infrastructure behind cybersecurity.
