Secure by design: Cybersecurity basics for health care
Today's health care organizations operate at the intersection of life-saving technology and escalating digital risk. From ransomware targeting patient records to state-sponsored actors exploiting medical device vulnerabilities, the cyber threat landscape is growing faster and more sophisticated, than ever before. And with artificial intelligence now embedded across clinical and operational workflows, the stakes have never been higher.
For this episode, we sit down with two seasoned cybersecurity experts from the WTW Cyber Risk Consulting team to break down what health care risk managers, frontline leaders and operational teams need to know right now:
Why health care remains one of the most targeted sectors and what makes it uniquely vulnerable to opportunistic criminals and nation-state actors alike
The dual role of AI in cybersecurity: how threat actors are weaponizing it to accelerate attacks, and how defenders can harness it for behavioral detection and faster response
The risks of shadow AI and unsanctioned large language models creating new attack surfaces inside your own organization
Practical steps to strengthen cyber resilience, from asset discovery and vulnerability management to third-party supply chain accountability
How to speak the language of the C-suite and financially quantify cyber risk to secure the budget and organizational buy-in your security program requires
Joining host Joan Porcaro, Senior Vice President of Risk Services at WTW Healthcare, are Anthony Wilson, a former CIA and NSA intelligence professional and municipal CISO now leading cyber risk consulting at WTW and Omar Al-Shahery, a Senior Director on the WTW Cyber Risk Team with deep roots in FBI cyber threat intelligence and 22 years of defense intelligence experience.
Because in health care, security isn't about being perfect. It's about being intentional, staying informed and never standing still.

Behind the glitch: Tracing AI in safety events
When a critical clinical event occurs, how do you know if AI played a role? In this episode, we dive into the emerging challenge of identifying and investigating AI-related incidents in healthcare. Learn how to evaluate AI as a contributing factor, define what counts as an AI-related near miss and document safety concerns effectively.
We also explore how to train staff to recognize and report errors in which AI may have had an impact or appear to have been a causal factor. If patient safety and technology oversight are on your radar, this conversation is a must-listen.
