Episode #239. One Attack. Thousands of Broken Workflows, with Greg Garcia
Episode Description
What happens when a single cyberattack disrupts prescriptions, patient care, reimbursements, and entire healthcare workflows across the country?
In this episode, Greg Garcia, Executive Director of the Health Sector Coordinating Council Cybersecurity Working Group, explains how the healthcare industry is rethinking cyber resilience following the Change Healthcare attack, which exposed dangerous operational chokepoints across critical workflows such as pharmacies, imaging, and blood supply systems. He shares how the Healthcare Sector Coordinating Council’s SMART initiative maps healthcare dependencies, third-party risks, and continuity gaps, enabling organizations to better prepare for cyber, operational, and geopolitical disruptions. Greg also discusses the group’s growing work around AI governance, secure-by-design medical devices, workforce development, and updated cybersecurity frameworks that could shape future healthcare regulation. Reflecting on the growth of the Cybersecurity Working Group from 50 organizations to nearly 500, he explains why collaborative, ecosystem-wide security has become one of the most rewarding accomplishments of his career.
Tune in to hear how healthcare cybersecurity leaders are mapping hidden risks, preparing for AI-driven threats, and building a more resilient healthcare ecosystem before the next major disruption occurs!
