CIO Podcast - Episode 80: Security and Awareness Culture with Brian Shea

September 23, 2024

For the 80th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Brian Shea, Chief Information Officer at MedOne Healthcare Partners to talk about security! We kick this episode off by discussing the “bricks and mortars” things that are often neglected in favor of shiny objects. Next, we look into how much security is enough security and how you can tell if you’ve done enough for your organization. Then we talk about what it takes to create a culture of security and awareness in your organization. And in the spirit of that culture, Shea shares how he approaches communication with employees who have fallen for phishing campaigns. MedOne Healthcare Partners is 100% in the cloud, Shea shares how that feels for his organization, what it took to get there, and the pros and cons. Finally, we end this episode with Shea passing along the best piece of advice he’s received in his career.


Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode:



  • What are the “bricks and mortars” things that not enough people are doing since they’re chasing shiny objects?
  • How much security is enough? Everyone has limited resources, so how do you know when you’ve done enough?
  • What does it take to create a security and awareness culture in a healthcare organization?
  • How do you approach communication with employees who fall for phishing campaigns?
  • How is it to be 100% in the cloud? What did it take to get there and what are the pros and cons?
  • What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given in your career?

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the CIO Podcast by Healthcare IT Today.
