Episode Synopsis

December 3, 2025: When Will Houston, Network Security Manager at MDI Hospital, received security alerts at 5 AM on a holiday, he faced every healthcare leader's nightmare. But this story gets personal: among the 32,000 breach notifications he later sent were letters to his wife and two children. Join as Will sits down with Fortified Health Security’s Spencer Bales, VP of Product, and Preston Duren, VP of Threat Services,  to explore how a small hospital in Bar Harbor, Maine, shut down 170 compromised accounts before breakfast, managed a crisis spanning weeks, and learned why healthcare-focused cybersecurity partnerships aren't just about technology—they're about protecting real people in your community.Key Points:04:45 Will’s Cyber Journey and the terrible summer13:24 Fortified's Central Command Platform16:20 The SOS Button and Work-Life Balance20:36 Incident Response and Escalation IQ28:51 Healthcare Focus and Mission32:40 Advice for Small TeamsX: This Week HealthLinkedIn: This Week HealthDonate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer
