August 29, 2025
From a WEDI virtual spotlight earlier this summer, hosts and WEDI Privacy & Security Work Group Co-Chairs Lesley Berkeyheiser (DirectTrust) and Thanh-Thien Nguyen (Kaiser Permanente) moderate a conversation with Healthcare Sector Coordinating Council Cybersecurity Leadership and cut through the noise on healthcare cybersecurity. The guests, Healthcare Sector Coordinating Council Executive Director of Cybersecurity Greg Garcia and HSCC Cybersecurity Working Group Chair and Vice Chair Chris Tyberg (Abbott) and Dr. Samantha Jacques (McLaren), share the most valuable resources from HSCC, HHS, and others that every organization should prioritize, with practical advice for small providers on staying vigilant and maintaining strong cyber hygiene. We’ll also explore the current healthcare threat landscape, the biggest opportunities and risks on the horizon, and how new legislative efforts may shape the future. Finally, we’ll highlight the urgent need to grow a diverse pipeline of skilled cybersecurity professionals to protect the sector moving forward.
