Microsoft Healthcare Security Brief

Join us for part two of our conversation with Salwa Rafee and Dr. Bonnie Netschert from IBM Security as we explore how healthcare organizations can move beyond compliance checklists and use compliance as code to reduce risk and strengthen security outcomes. The discussion covers embedding security and privacy controls into infrastructure, automating evidence collection, and making secure development practices easier for healthcare teams. We also examine how managed services, AI, and automation can help address ongoing cybersecurity talent shortages while enabling resilient 24/7 security operations and improving readiness against evolving threats. If you missed part one, be sure to listen for additional insights on today's healthcare threat landscape and modern cybersecurity strategies.

Hello! Welcome to today’s episode of the Healthcare Security Brief podcast, where we will explore the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and the partnerships helping healthcare organizations stay resilient. Today, we’re excited to welcome Salwa Rafee, managing partner, author, and cybersecurity practice lead at IBM Security, along with Dr. Bonnie Netschert, program lead for cybersecurity and the Global Security partnership with Microsoft at IBM Security. In part one of this discussion, we dive into the shifting healthcare threat landscape, why cybersecurity has become directly tied to patient safety, the rise of ransomware and AI-driven attacks, and how healthcare organizations can modernize security strategies through zero trust, medical device protection, and compliance automation.

We're excited to introduce a new podcast series called the Microsoft Healthcare Security Brief. The objective of this new podcast series is to bring together some of our strategic partners in the healthcare security space for a personal discussion on topics we feel can help healthcare organizations be more resilient and proactive across the evolving threat landscape, and hear firsthand some of the experiences and recommendations our partners can share.
