    What past ransomware and medical device incidents might reveal gaps that manufacturers are still overlooking today?

    In this episode, Christian and Trevor examine real incidents where cybersecurity failures, software flaws, and insecure medical devices led to patient harm and death. They break down how ransomware attacks, implantable device vulnerabilities, and AI-driven therapies expose life-critical risks in healthcare. The conversation highlights why regulators are increasing scrutiny and why cybersecurity must be treated as a patient-safety imperative, not an afterthought.
