Miami, Florida (Hexa PR Wire — January 31, 2026) —
Christian Espinosa joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss medical device cybersecurity and why failures in this category can have direct consequences for patient safety. Espinosa, founder and CEO of Blue Goat Cyber and a U.S. Air Force veteran, explains how his background shaped a risk-based approach to security and why healthcare environments are especially exposed due to complexity, time pressure, and reliance on interconnected systems. Espinosa describes how social engineering continues to drive breaches and why human behavior remains a core factor in security outcomes. He discusses how AI is changing attack capabilities by automating reconnaissance and scaling attempts that used to require significant manual effort. The conversation covers what medical device cybersecurity entails across products such as infusion pumps, pacemakers, and AI-enabled surgical systems, along with how ransomware incidents can disrupt hospital operations and affect care delivery. Espinosa also explains how regulatory expectations influence how manufacturers design, document, and validate security before devices reach patients.
