LI_S01E76_FLOSS_in_Healthcare

In this episode, Martin and Chris host an industry veteran to get the user's side perspective on FLOSS usage especially from a health provider perspective. As FLOSS components are a vital part of any of today's enterprise IT systems, medical providers and health care in general are no exception apart from the much higher regulatory and compliance requirements this industry postulates. The discussion centers around these requirements and how to fulfil them in addition to a more security-focussed conversation as these medical IT systems present a prime target for attackers not only due to the sensitive personal information many of these systems process and store.
