In Episode 6 of The Power of AI in Risk, host Jason Reichl welcomes Ed Gaudet, CEO and founder of Censinet, to explore how AI is transforming healthcare cybersecurity—both as a powerful tool and a dangerous threat.

- How AI expands the attack surface—and what to do about it
- Why “cradle to grave” vendor risk management is the new gold standard
- How to build a risk culture driven by influence—not control
💬 “We’re not even scratching the surface of the threats AI is going to create.”
