Episode Description

What happens when cybersecurity steps out from under IT and sits at the executive table?

In this episode, Sara Coverstone shares how moving cybersecurity out of IT and aligning it with risk functions improved board visibility and elevated cyber risks as a strategic priority. Emphasizing that "cyber safety is patient safety," she’s leading efforts in IAM, IoMT security, and AI governance, while encouraging a just culture, cross-team collaboration, and action over perfection.

Tune in and learn how Northern Arizona Healthcare restructured its approach to cyber risk, linking digital resilience directly to patient safety, and why starting small can drive big change!
