May 11, 2026

Episode Description

Most healthcare breaches don’t start inside the hospital; they start with a vendor no one is watching closely enough.

In this episode, Paul Russell, Chief Product Officer for Censinet, explains how healthcare organizations struggle to manage risk across thousands of third-party vendors, where many breaches originate. He describes how manual processes make risk assessment overwhelming and how Censinet uses AI and automation to identify and prioritize the most critical threats. A key innovation discussed is AI-driven GRC, which connects siloed data across finance, clinical, and cybersecurity teams to detect hidden risk patterns before they escalate. Russell emphasizes that the future lies in combining automation with human oversight, enabling smarter decisions while building trust in AI systems.

Tune in if you want to understand how AI is transforming risk management in healthcare and why third-party vendors are the biggest blind spot!
