AI is becoming more capable, more autonomous and more accessible. What does that mean for medical device cybersecurity?
Liam Dowd joins Christian Espinosa to discuss the changing security landscape, from continuous SBOM monitoring and vulnerable hospital environments to the growing role of AI on both sides of the cybersecurity equation.
They explore how AI could make attackers faster while also giving defenders better tools, why excessive agency may become one of the technology’s biggest security risks, and where AI could genuinely improve healthcare.
