Unlock the secrets of healthcare cybersecurity with insights from our distinguished guest, Jason Payne, Sales Director of ANZ at Claroty Healthcare. Delve into the crucial role of digital visibility in safeguarding healthcare environments, especially in the face of the IoT device surge. Jason gives us a glimpse into his career journey and shares his expertise on the vulnerabilities inherent in flat network structures within healthcare organisations. Discover how identifying and managing critical assets can prevent breaches and ensure uninterrupted patient care, a mission at the heart of Claroty Healthcare's approach.

Ransomware attacks are a growing threat, capable of bringing hospital operations to a standstill and jeopardising patient safety. In this episode, we stress the importance of pinpointing weak links and reinforce the value of strong channel partnerships in bolstering security measures. Drawing from personal experiences in the ANZ region, we share strategies for engaging with healthcare providers, navigating the intricate landscape of public sector regulations, and understanding their unique challenges.

Lastly, we explore the cutting-edge world of medical device cybersecurity and innovation, particularly within Australia's SOCI Act framework. With only a select few hospitals meeting SOCI compliance, we discuss the political and financial hurdles of expanding this compliance. Learn how our collaboration with manufacturers, alongside our threat team, Team 82, is paving the way for enhanced network security and visibility. As we wrap up, we touch on the evolution of artificial intelligence, offering fascinating parallels with visionary thinkers, and spotlight the transformative opportunities AI presents for data and network support in the healthcare industry.
