A contract clause can change your entire security roadmap overnight, and in healthcare the stakes are higher than most industries want to admit. We sit down with Brian Waltz, longtime healthcare technology leader and former CISO at Cardinal Health, to unpack how cyber risk becomes business risk the moment patient care, diagnostics, or critical operations get disrupted.

We start with Brian’s path from audit to executive security leadership and why an auditor’s skepticism can be a superpower when it’s paired with empathy and clear communication. From there, we dig into governance, risk, and compliance as more than a rearview mirror. Brian shares how he gets leaders to define what a “bad day” looks like, then ties technical threats to financial impact, operational impact, and regulatory exposure so decisions don’t stall in jargon.
