Fortified Health Security

From volunteer to cybersecurity defender: Joshua Dostie's journey at MaineGeneral Health started when he was just 16, volunteering at the hospital where he was born. Today, he leads a team protecting patients in an era where healthcare data breaches affected over 250M Americans last year. "Identifying hackers is the easiest part of my job. The challenge with security is the personal connections," Joshua explains. Unlike other industries, healthcare can't simply shut down systems when threats appear—not when those systems connect to surgical robots and life-sustaining equipment. See how MaineGeneral is redefining healthcare security with a human-centered approach that keeps patients safe and care flowing: https://hubs.ly/Q039-N850 #HealthcareHeroes #CyberSecurity #MaineGeneral
