Cybersecurity decisions in healthcare do not stay confined to IT. When systems go down, workflows are disrupted, or patient data is exposed, the impact can reach the people healthcare organizations exist to serve.

In this episode of Tech 2 Exec, Mike Linton and Josh Linton talk with Ryan Witt of Proofpoint about healthcare cybersecurity, AI-driven threats, and the connection between cyber risk and patient care. Ryan shares what he has learned from working with healthcare security leaders, why attackers continue to target people, and how AI is making phishing and social engineering harder to identify.

They also discuss how IT leaders can communicate risk to executives and board members in a way that connects security decisions to the mission of protecting patients.
