When a cyberattack moves from "pay us" to "destroy everything," the rules of digital warfare have officially changed.

In this episode of Security Boulevard, Tom Hollingsworth, Fernando Montenegro, and Jack Poller break down the devastating "wipe" attack on healthcare giant Stryker.

Unlike typical ransomware focused on financial gain, this attack saw laptops, phones, and entire systems systematically erased, signaling a chilling shift toward non-financially motivated nation-state aggression. The team explores why healthcare remains a "soft target," the critical importance of network segregation (which saved Stryker’s medical devices), and why identity security is the last line of defense in an era of destructive hacking.

From the "cybersecurity poverty line" to the dangers of weaponizing management tools like MDMs, this conversation is a must-watch for IT professionals and executives navigating today's perilous geopolitical landscape.
