In the last episode of this three-part series, Steve Cagle, Bob Chaput, and Mac McMillan return with an exploration of the common pitfalls in allocating cybersecurity budgets and transitions to a pivotal question: where should security leaders prioritize investments? Bob Chaput advocates for a risk management-centric approach, emphasizing the need for a strategic reassessment of cybersecurity tools. Mac McMillan sheds light on the challenges posed by an abundance of security tools and the imperative for integration. The discussion also leads into considerations in the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. The episode concludes by emphasizing the importance of leadership engagement, organizational collaboration, and a proactive stance in addressing the evolving landscape of healthcare cybersecurity.
In this episode, we discuss the critical role of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems in cybersecurity, particularly in healthcare. We explore the concept of 'EDR killers'—malicious software designed to disable EDR solutions—and the conditions that make these attacks successful.
