Telehealth isn’t just convenient—it’s a new attack surface for ePHI. In this episode, we'll walk through the end-to-end security controls every virtual care program needs:

• Choosing a fully HIPAA-compliant platform with end-to-end encryption and a solid BAA

• Strong patient authentication with identity proofing and multi-factor requirements

• Secure handling of session recordings, transcripts, and chat logs—encrypted at rest and in transit

• Staff training on private-session etiquette and quarterly security drills

• Building a telehealth-specific incident response playbook and real-time monitoring rules

Medical devices are mission-critical, and too often under-protected. In this episode, we walk through a complete device-security playbook:

• Building an accurate inventory and risk score for every MRI, infusion pump, and bedside monitor

• Designing VLANs, firewalls, and zero-trust micro-segmentation to limit attacker movement

• Balancing OEM patch schedules with virtual patching to shield unpatchable legacy gear

• Implementing real-time monitoring, SIEM integration, and device-specific incident response runbooks

• Training clinicians and governing vendors to close human and third-party gaps

• BYOD vs. Hospital-Issued Devices: Pros and cons of each model and how to choose what’s right for your practice.

• MDM vs. EMM/UEM Essentials: Core features—device enrollment, configuration profiles, and unified endpoint management explained.

• Policy Framework: Step-by-step guidance on enrolling devices, enforcing encryption, passcodes, Wi-Fi/VPN settings, and compliance checks.

• App Vetting & Distribution: Whitelisting vs. blacklisting, enterprise app stores, and app-wrapping strategies to safeguard ePHI.

• Monitoring & Wipe Procedures: Real-time health checks, geofencing, and lost–stolen device protocols—including remote lock, selective and full wipe, plus audit-ready logging.
