Episode Description

What happens when a cyberattack doesn't just threaten data, but patient lives?

In this episode, Dan Holland, Deputy CISO at Tampa General Hospital (TGH), explains why healthcare cybersecurity is ultimately about protecting patients, not just systems. He shares how strong leadership, a collaborative culture, and investing in foundational security have helped build resilience against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Dan also explores the promise and risks of AI, arguing that organizations must embrace its benefits without losing the human expertise needed when technology fails. The conversation also covers digital transformation, micro-segmentation, and why hands-on experience matters more than certifications for the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

Healthcare cybersecurity isn't just about preventing breaches; it's about protecting patients when every second matters!
