Healthcare Cybersecurity in 2026: Healthcare CISO Matt Burke on AI, MFA, SOCs & Incident Readiness
Published 2 days, 9 hours ago
Description
On Cybersecurity Today on the Weekend, host David speaks with Matt Burke, CISO of Bespoke Concierge MD, a telemedicine provider with doctors licensed in all 50 states, about defending patient data amid rising healthcare threats in 2026.
Burke explains why healthcare is heavily targeted, recounts a formative 3 a.m. incident rebuilding a critical connection during surgery, and outlines his top concerns: increasingly sophisticated bad actors, "hacking as a service," and user mistakes.
He emphasizes education, strong security tooling backed by a proactive/reactive SOC, and rigorous practice of incident and disaster recovery plans, balancing prevention with rapid response.
The discussion also covers AI's benefits and risks, leadership support for security, the importance of MFA for both work and personal accounts, and Burke's wish for broader adoption of effective SIEM tools.
