Securanoia

Some conversations leave us with more questions than answers, and that’s exactly where we want to be. I’m Alex Schärli, producer turned reluctant co-host thanks to a little Swiss chocolate from my wife and host Brooke Schärli. Together we revisit the big moments, unpack the “wait what?” reactions, and bring your voices into the mix.

Short, candid, and a little unexpected, these episodes are your chance to shape where the conversation goes next. What do you want us to dig into?

Securanoia sits down with Derek Erie (MrEerie), a digital forensic analyst specializing in healthcare incident response. Derek shares his unconventional path into cyber forensics and explains why hospitals are prime targets from the value of patient data to insider curiosity and third‑party risks.

He breaks down real-world investigative practice, the “pick‑a‑role” incident response process, and how human motives often reveal the most critical clues. The conversation explores AI’s role in modern forensics, practical field tools and habits, and the importance of communication, context, and collaboration in keeping healthcare secure.
