  • Sell Me This Pen - Ep 482
    Nov 1 2024

    Ever heard someone say you need a pen test but then start wondering if they meant a pen from a spy movie? There typically is a lot of confusion between penetration testing and vulnerability assessments—a common mix-up with big consequences for your cybersecurity game. We will walk through different types of pen tests, explain how they help you spot weaknesses before the bad guys do and tackle why continuous vulnerability management can save you from surprises. Whether you’re building up your defenses or simply trying to keep up with best practices, this episode is packed with insights on staying ahead of cyber threats, one test at a time.

  • Gumming Up the Works: Dental Record Request Nightmare - Ep 481
    Oct 25 2024

    Ever had a root canal that felt less painful than dealing with bureaucracy? Well, buckle up, because in this episode, we sink our teeth into the 50th patient right of access enforcement action under HIPAA. That’s right—50 cases since 2019, and somehow, this one involving Dr. Gumb (yes, really) and a dental records dispute is the most absurd of the bunch. From a refusal to hand over records to racking up government fines like trading cards, this saga is a wild reminder of what happens when compliance takes a backseat.

  • Ransomware, Recall, and Regulations - Ep 480
    Oct 18 2024

    Today we tackle the trifecta of cybersecurity headaches: Microsoft’s awkwardly ambitious recall feature, the looming HISAA regulations (because HIPAA wasn’t enough), and a juicy enforcement action following a ransomware attack. We’ll break down how Microsoft’s recall reboot went from intrusive default to opt-in relief, why HISAA could mean mandatory stress tests for healthcare providers, and what lessons we can learn from a ransomware attack that left 291,000 patient records exposed—and a corrective action plan no one wants. If you've ever wondered how healthcare security, government fines, and tech mishaps collide, this one’s for you.
