Cyber Kills: When Cyber Attacks Cost Lives
Cybersecurity stopped being an IT problem the day hospitals went offline.
For many years, cybersecurity incidents were measured in stolen data, financial losses, or reputational damage. But a growing number of cyber attacks are now crossing a dangerous line – from the digital world into the physical one.
Hospitals forced to shut down during ransomware attacks. Critical infrastructure disrupted by malicious code. Emergency services paralyzed at the worst possible moment. In several documented cases, cyber incidents have been linked to real-world harm and even loss of life.
In this powerful keynote, Menny Barzilay explores the moment when cybersecurity stops being an IT problem and becomes a public safety issue. The talk challenges leaders to rethink how they approach cyber risk when the stakes are no longer data or money – but human lives.
