2 Minute Drill: Healthcare's Cybersecurity Workforce Crisis With Drex DeFord

Drex breaks down ISC2's 2025 cybersecurity workforce study and explains why healthcare's security staffing problem isn't about finding more people—it's about broken operating models and unrealistic expectations. He covers the critical skills gap in translating cyber risk to business risk, the burnout driving away mid-career talent, and why third-party risk management has become more complex than ever. Plus, practical solutions healthcare CISOs are using: growing security teams internally by hiring from other departments and strategically leveraging managed services. The workforce gap won't be fixed by traditional hiring—it requires designing better systems and building resilience instead of just buying more tools.Remember, Stay a Little Paranoid X: This Week Health LinkedIn: This Week Health Donate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer
