Dr Saif Abed: From the ICU to the Data Center; Why an MD in Cybersecurity Makes Sense
I was feelin' so bad,
I asked my family doctor just what I had,
I said, Doctor…
Mr. M.D. …
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me,
What's ailin' me?"
--Good Lovin’; The Rascals, 1966
What if I told you that, according to the 2018 Horizon Report from Fortified Health Security, 100 percent of web applications connected to critical health information is vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Varonis tells us that the loss of data and related failures will cost healthcare companies nearly $6 trillion in damages in the next three years.
Meanwhile, ISACA reports that 27% of healthcare firms say they are unable to find candidates to fulfill cybersecurity roles
This week on Insecurity, Matt Stephenson speaks with cybersecurity expert Dr Saif Abed, founder of AbedGraham, Clinical Cyberdefense Systems and a MEDICAL DOCTOR! Why would someone leave the calm world of the ICU for the chaos of securing a data center? Take a walk with Dr Abed to learn about his journey from healing patients in the surgery to keeping patient data safe and protected worldwide.
