CareTalk: Healthcare. Unfiltered. Modernizing Healthcare Data Security w/ Aimee Cardwell
If you don’t know where the patient’s data is at every moment, you really can’t protect it yet. That’s the reality many healthcare organizations are facing. Regulations can help but legacy siloed systems keep patients exposed.
In this episode of the HealthBiz Podcast, David Williams is joined by Aimee Cardwell, CISO-in-residence at Transcend. Aimee breaks down why compliance doesn’t equal security, how legacy architectures and vendor ecosystems create hidden vulnerabilities, and what modern, identity-centric, AI-enabled security should look like.
