Healthcare organizations are rarely fully on-prem or fully in the cloud, yet many security programs are still built as if they are. In this Cyber Brief, Jackie Mattingly sits down with cloud security architect John Fitch to explore the realities of hybrid healthcare environments, where identity sprawl, governance gaps, and unclear responsibility quietly expand the attack surface. The discussion examines how hospitals can regain visibility, accountability, and resilience across cloud and legacy systems while keeping patient care and operational reality front and center.
