Listen "Newsday: Security Culture Saves Hospital and Resource Gaps with George Pappas"
Episode Synopsis
November 17, 2025: How does a 25-bed critical access hospital successfully stop a cyberattack when larger health systems fall victim? George Pappas, CEO of Intraprise Health, unpacks the Colorado hospital that shows how security culture beats expensive technology. The conversation reveals why vendor transparency remains elusive despite high-profile breaches, explores the harsh reality of hospitals that know their vulnerabilities but lack resources to fix them, and tackles AI governance challenges that traditional testing methods can't address. From Oracle-Cerner incidents to the frozen HIPAA NPRM, this episode delivers hard truths about healthcare security's funding gaps and the practical strategies that actually work for margin-pressed organizations.Key Points:01:45 Vendor Contracts and Legal Challenges06:21 Challenges with Cloud Security11:26 Critical Access Hospitals and Cyber Preparedness17:47 AI in Healthcare: Opportunities and RisksX: This Week HealthLinkedIn: This Week HealthDonate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer
