    Jul 14 2025
    July 14, 2025: Kevin Day, CTO at Rhapsody, joins Drex for the news. While 96% of healthcare executives say they're ready for digital health solutions, two-thirds still battle interoperability challenges that create real patient care problems. Kevin and Drex bring up an alarming trend: 28 healthcare breaches affecting over 5 million people in June 2025, with attack vectors evolving from phishing emails to unpatched third-party software. Kevin discusses how AI might solve duplicate patient record problems while revealing why the soft underbelly of healthcare cybersecurity may not be where most organizations think it is. Key Points:

  • UnHack (the News): Reported Cyber Breach Death and the Interconnected World with Mick Coady

    UnHack (the News): Reported Cyber Breach Death and the Interconnected World with Mick Coady
    Jul 7 2025
    July 7, 2025: Mick Coady, CTO at Armis, joins Drex for the news. This episode examines a sobering milestone: the first confirmed patient death directly attributed to a ransomware attack on London's blood distribution system. The conversation explores how a single cyber incident creates cascading effects across entire healthcare networks, flooding neighboring hospitals with redirected patients and overwhelming emergency departments. With 28 healthcare security incidents reported in June alone—many involving third-party vendors—the discussion questions whether the industry fully understands how interconnected systems create compounding vulnerabilities. From agricultural equipment with satellite connectivity to medical devices running outdated firmware, every connected endpoint represents a potential entry point for attackers. Key Points:
    • 01:43 Ransomware Attack Leads to Patient Death
    • 06:10 Rural Healthcare During Cyber Attacks
    • 09:11 Third-Party Risks in Cybersecurity
    • 10:29 Cybersecurity in Agriculture and Implications
