• Smart Devices & Legacy Systems: The Big Risks in Healthcare Cyber - Ep 157

  In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Rob Aragao (Chief Security Strategist, OpenText) speaks with Ed Gaudet, CEO and founder of Censinet, about the high-stakes intersection of cybersecurity and healthcare. With hospitals increasingly reliant on connected medical devices and legacy systems, the risks extend beyond data breaches—they directly impact patient safety.Ed shares insights into the unique cybersecurity challenges healthcare organizations face, including outdated systems, siloed risk management, and the complexity of biomed environments. He emphasizes how aligning cybersecurity and clinical engineering under a unified risk framework can improve compliance and operational efficiency. The conversation also explores the evolving role of medical device manufacturers, the importance of unique identifiers, and how actionable risk intelligence is key to improving outcomes.A highlight of the discussion is the eye-opening research Ed and Censinet conducted with the Ponemon Institute, revealing a 20% increase in mortality rates tied to ransomware attacks—transforming cybersecurity from a technical concern into a patient safety crisis.Key Takeaways:Strategies for managing legacy medical devices securelyThe danger of siloed risk management in healthcareHow ransomware disrupts care delivery and impacts patient safetyThe need for a single source of truth for cyber risk across organizationsWhy AI must be approached with caution in clinical settingsThis episode is a must-listen for healthcare leaders, cybersecurity professionals, and anyone interested in the future of safe, resilient healthcare systems.Reports referenced in this episode:Censinet/Ponemon InstituteCISA - Provide Medical Care is in Critical Condition: Analysis and Stakeholder Decision Support to Minimize Further Harm Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via [email protected] As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcast and Best 70 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts rankings.

• The AI Cybersecurity Bubble: Hype, Hope or Harsh? - Ep 156

  Welcome to Reimagining Cyber! In this episode, Tyler Moffitt (Senior Security Strategist, OpenText) , dissects one of the hottest—and most misunderstood—topics in tech: the AI bubble in cybersecurity. Is AI revolutionizing threat detection and response, or are we falling for another overhyped tech trend? Tyler draws parallels to the blockchain frenzy of 2017, warning of “AI-washing,” overblown marketing claims, and venture capital-fueled hype that may be outpacing real-world results.The conversation dives into where AI is genuinely making an impact—like anomaly detection, threat intel summarization, and SOC automation—and where it's still falling short, from false positives and model drift to the black-box problem. With signs of a bubble already forming, including vendor consolidation and flashy tools that don’t deliver, Tyler urges security leaders to focus on co-pilot approaches, not full automation. Bottom line? AI can be a force multiplier, but only when paired with human expertise and solid cyber hygiene.Whether you're skeptical of the buzz or curious about where AI in cybersecurity is actually working, this episode brings a grounded, no-fluff take on the state of the industry.Key Topics:Signs we’re in an AI bubbleAI’s real impact areas vs. marketing fluffWhy human-in-the-loop still mattersRisks of overreliance and analyst de-skillingWhat smart AI adoption looks like for security leadersTune in to cut through the noise and get real about AI in cyber.Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via [email protected] As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcast and Best 70 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts rankings.
