Cybersecurity decisions in healthcare do not stay confined to IT. When systems go down, workflows are disrupted, or patient data is exposed, the impact can reach the people healthcare organizations exist to serve.

In this episode of Tech 2 Exec, Mike Linton and Josh Linton talk with Ryan Witt of Proofpoint about healthcare cybersecurity, AI-driven threats, and the connection between cyber risk and patient care. Ryan shares what he has learned from working with healthcare security leaders, why attackers continue to target people, and how AI is making phishing and social engineering harder to identify.

They also discuss how IT leaders can communicate risk to executives and board members in a way that connects security decisions to the mission of protecting patients.

Tim MalcomVetter is back on the Tech 2 Exec podcast, and he has some big news to share.

Since his last appearance discussing Wirespeed, the company has been acquired by Coalition, one of the largest cyber insurance providers. In this episode, Tim joins us to talk about what that acquisition means for MDR, active cyber insurance, business email compromise, identity security, and the growing connection between cybersecurity controls and business risk.

Tim also shares how Coalition is using security data, claims insight, and fast detection and response to help organizations reduce risk before a claim happens. The conversation covers MFA bypasses, mailbox rule abuse, AI-enabled attackers, supply chain risk, and why IT and finance teams need to be part of the cyber insurance conversation together.

Craig Adams, Chief Product Officer at Rapid7, joins Tech 2 Exec for a conversation on AI, MDR, product leadership, and the future of security platforms.

What does the next phase of MDR look like when security teams are expected to do more than respond to alerts? Craig shares how Rapid7 thinks about building security products around customer outcomes, why open platforms matter when security data is spread across tools, and how partners help organizations make better technology decisions.

The conversation also explores Rapid7’s focus on preemptive MDR, including how security teams can identify detection gaps, proactively hunt for indicators of compromise, and reduce risk earlier.

Craig also shares his take on AI in cybersecurity, including why transparency matters, what separates useful automation from chatbot hype, and how IT leaders can talk to executives about technology in a way that connects to business outcomes.
