Catching up on another powerful episode with Christian Espinosa, founder & CEO of Blue Goat Cyber, U.S. Air Force veteran, and one of the leading voices in medical device cybersecurity — as he breaks down the real-world risks behind life-critical technology and what happens when security fails. From growing up in chaos to protecting devices that literally keep people alive, Christian shares how curiosity, resilience, and lived experience shaped his mission.

• How AI is changing cyber warfare, turning simple “door-rattling” attacks into fully automated, intelligent threats.
• What medical device cybersecurity really means—from infusion pumps and pacemakers to AI-powered surgical robots.
• The life-threatening consequences of ransomware in hospitals—and why protecting these systems is no longer optional.
