Cybersecurity in healthcare is facing heightened challenges as regulations shift, IoT devices proliferate, and ransomware attacks become increasingly devastating. Josh Spencer, Founder, and CIO at FortaTech Security and with over fifteen years in the field including time as CISO/CTO at UT Southwestern, explores why HIPAA changes are necessary, the high stakes of securing medical devices, and how both technology and culture play roles in protecting patient data and safety. The conversation breaks down risks, practical mitigation strategies, and the ongoing evolution of both threats and defensive tools -- including AI -- and covers the evolving HIPAA landscape and the move from “addressable” to required controls, ransomware’s impact on hospitals and patient safety, challenges and best practices in securing connected medical (IoT/OT) devices, the importance of real-world risk assessment and penetration testing in healthcare, and human factors, including security awareness training and leveraging AI both for defense and as a threat.

What is IoT Security Podcast?
The IoT Security Podcast explores the Security of Things. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a giant network of over 50 billion connected devices, and it’s transforming the way we live and work. But a breakdown in security will prevent this IoT transformation. Join our host, Phillip Wylie, each month as he speaks with the biggest names and the biggest brains in cybersecurity, including CISOs, analysts, security researchers, and other industry thought leaders, to give you the information you need to navigate security and threats in an increasingly Thing-based world.
