Show Notes

April 6, 2026: The rules of warfare have changed, and health systems are caught in the middle. On this episode of Newsday, Sarah Richardson and Drex DeFord break down two stories that should be on every healthcare leader's radar: the IRGC's declaration that major tech companies are now legitimate combatants, and what the Stryker attack reveals about the fragility of the healthcare supply chain. From cloud co-location risk to vendor contract language, this conversation reframes what resilience planning actually demands in 2026. Stay a little paranoid.

Key Points:

  • 02:04 Iran Targets Tech Giants
  • 08:52 Resilience and Supply Chain
  • 12:27 CISO Storytelling and Contracts
  • 17:10 Cyber Reality and Wrap Up
