The panelists - Anna Delaney, director, productions; Tony Morbin, executive news editor; Michael Novinson, managing editor, ISMG business; and Marianne Kolbasuk McGee, executive editor, HealthcareInfoSecurity - discuss:

  • Why cybersecurity is increasingly moving from being a tech-centric profession to a risk-centric one and how to measure cyber risk;
  • Why a rural Illinois medical system will shut down partially due to fallout from a 2021 ransomware incident, which is part of a wave of attacks exacting high costs from the healthcare industry;
  • Why cybersecurity firms Dragos and Sumo Logic have joined a slew of companies in laying off employees due to slowdowns in revenue growth.
