In this episode of Nurse Rosa's Insights, host Nurse Rosa Hart sits down with George Pappas, CEO of Intraprise, to explore the growing threat of cyber attacks targeting modern healthcare infrastructure. As the industry becomes increasingly reliant on healthcare technology and electronic medical records (EMR), the conversation highlights how vulnerable systems can compromise patient safety and continuity of care.
George shares compelling real-world examples of cybersecurity breaches, underscoring how they disrupt operations and put lives at risk. They discuss why many healthcare organizations, especially small practices, are unprepared for today's cybersecurity threats—and how adopting advanced identity management tools and automated risk assessment processes can strengthen defenses.
