CNI, healthcare and cyber threats

Any system that is connected to the public internet is at risk of cyber attack. And any system that connects to a network or other system connected to the internet, is also at risk.

This poses dilemmas for operators of critical infrastructure.  Devices and applications developed to run on standalone infrastructure, often with specialist operating systems, are not designed to work safely online.

How, then, can organisations operating critical national infrastructure, protect their systems from cyber attack and still benefit from connectivity to the outside world, as well as the economies of off the shelf technology?

Our guests today are both experts in protecting health care systems.

Jonathan Langer is COO Claroty Medigate, which focuses on securing the Internet of Things in health care.

And Adam Zoller is cyber security lead for Providence, a system of compassionate healthcare providers on the west coast of the United States.

They joined editor Stephen Pritchard to discuss why attackers target CNI and health care technology, where the weak spots lie, and how organisations can improve their security without disrupting vital business operations.
