Episode 235: Justine Bone of MedSec on Healthcare Insecurity

This podcast episode reviews the May 2021 Conti ransomware attack against Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE), which encrypted roughly 80% of the agency’s IT systems, disrupted operations across 54 public hospitals for about four months, forced staff to revert to pen-and-paper, and led to costly government recovery efforts; the conversation highlights failings in HSE’s cybersecurity posture and urges stronger defenses for healthcare organizations, including attention to medical device and supply-chain security.
