Brian Lamberger talks about Operational Resilience
General Manager Cybersecurity
We sat down with Brian Lamberger, CloudWave’s General Manager of Cybersecurity Solutions, to discuss the importance of Operational Resilience in healthcare enterprises and how today’s Security Risk Assessments have evolved.
How do you define Operational Resilience?
Operational resilience in healthcare is the ability to continue delivering care when, not if, something goes wrong. It is not about avoiding every incident. It is about being prepared, containing impact, and recovering quickly. A cyber event that takes an organization down for days is not a resilience failure. It is a sign that the foundational work was not done. True resilience means clinicians can still function, systems can be restored cleanly, and decisions are not made in chaos.
Why is protecting a healthcare organization against today’s threats different than other industries?
Healthcare is fundamentally different from other industries because the stakes extend beyond data. A breach disrupts care delivery and can directly impact patient safety. The attack surface includes clinical devices such as infusion pumps and imaging systems that cannot run endpoint security agents, creating visibility gaps that require distinct detection approaches. Add legacy infrastructure, limited IT resources, and layered regulatory obligations spanning HIPAA, cyber insurance requirements, and evolving federal guidance, and the environment becomes uniquely complex. Healthcare organizations are not just protecting data. They are protecting the ability to treat patients.
What makes today’s Security Risk Assessments different than those done in the past?
Security Risk Assessments have evolved from compliance exercises into strategic risk management tools. The question is no longer whether an organization is compliant. It is where the organization is vulnerable and what matters most to address. Modern assessments align with frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0, account for current insurance underwriting requirements, and produce prioritized findings that guide leadership decisions on budget and strategy.
My organization has limited resources. How can I show leadership the value of upgrading our cybersecurity approach?
For resource-constrained organizations, the key is translating cybersecurity into business impact. Leadership does not invest in tools. They invest in outcomes: reduced downtime, faster recovery, audit readiness, and lower risk. Framing cybersecurity as operational continuity changes the conversation. The goal is not more technology. It ensures the organization can function when it matters most.

The Threat Landscape Has Changed — Your Security Risk Assessment Should Too
For years, many healthcare organizations approached the HIPAA Security Risk Assessment (SRA) as a regulatory requirement: document risks, update policies, and ensure the report is on file. But healthcare cybersecurity has changed dramatically over the past decade. The threat landscape facing hospitals, rural providers, and senior living organizations today bears little resemblance to the environment that shaped many traditional assessment models.

March recap
March’s focus was on the cyberattack on Stryker Corporation, one of the world’s largest medical device companies, which was hit by a destructive cyberattack. It marked the first confirmed Iran-linked cyberattack on a major U.S. healthcare organization and a signal that geopolitical conflict is now showing up in American hospital systems.
