Show Notes

Multi-factor authentication isn't the bulletproof security measure it once was. Preston Duren, VP of Threat Services at Fortified Health Security, explores how cybercriminals are outsmarting traditional MFA through sophisticated phishing tactics and MFA bombing. The conversation shifts to the debate over platform consolidation—does fewer mean safer, or are we creating attractive single points of attack? With AI rapidly transforming both offensive and defensive capabilities in cybersecurity, the panel tackles the controversial question of whether human oversight will soon become obsolete. Plus, the evolving landscape of cyber insurance and why some health systems are choosing to self-insure.

  • 07:46 Platform Vulnerabilities and Cyber Attacks
  • 13:57 Human vs. AI in Cybersecurity
