What Was The Root Cause Of The UnitedHealth Breach?

The Other Side Of The Firewall

This is the laziest thumbnail I've ever made but is it as lazy as UnitedHealth's alleged lack of remote access authentication?

The jury is still out...

The conversation discusses the recent ransomware attack on Change Healthcare and the failure to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) as a basic security measure. The hosts express their frustration with the lack of MFA adoption and emphasize the importance of implementing adequate remote access authentication in today's digital age. They also highlight the financial and reputational consequences of not implementing proper cybersecurity measures. The conversation touches on the need for legislation and regulations to enforce cybersecurity practices in the healthcare industry. The hosts speculate on the potential reasons behind Change Healthcare's failure to prioritize cybersecurity and suggest that a lack of budget, resources, and continuity in leadership may have contributed to the breach.
