From March 28, 2024: One of the gravest threats to U.S. national security today—and also one of the newest—is the risk of cyberattacks. They come in many forms, and they can incapacitate companies, institutions, and even the government. To better understand these threats—and how the government is responding to them­—Lawfare Executive Editor Natalie Orpett and Lawfare Contributing Editor Brandon Van Grack sat down with Brett Leatherman, Deputy Assistant Director for Cyber Operations at the FBI. They discussed the FBI's recent operations, threats from both state actors and criminal gangs, and the role of the private sector in U.S. cybersecurity.This is the latest episode in our special series, “The Regulators,” co-sponsored with Morrison Foerster, in which we talk with senior government officials working at the front lines of U.S. national security policy.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

AI is rapidly becoming part of the healthcare system, powering everything from diagnostic tools and medical devices to patient monitoring and hospital operations. But while the potential is extraordinary, the risks are equally stark. Many hospitals are adopting AI without the safeguards needed to protect patient safety, leaving critical systems exposed to threats that most in the sector have never faced before. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Ty Greenhalgh, Healthcare Industry Principal at Claroty, about why healthcare's AI rush could come at a dangerous cost if security does not keep pace. Ty explains how novel threats like adversarial prompts, model poisoning, and decision manipulation could compromise clinical systems in ways that are very different from traditional cyberattacks. These are not just theoretical scenarios. AI-driven misinformation or manipulated diagnostics could directly impact patient care. We explore why the first step for hospitals is building a clear AI asset inventory. Too many organizations are rolling out AI models without knowing where they are deployed, how they interact with other systems, or what risks they introduce. Ty draws parallels with the hasty adoption of electronic health records, which created unforeseen security gaps that still haunt the industry today. With regulatory frameworks like the UK's AI Act and the EU's AI regulation approaching, Ty stresses that hospitals cannot afford to wait for legislation. Immediate action is needed to implement risk frameworks, strengthen vendor accountability, and integrate real-time monitoring of AI alongside legacy devices. Only then can healthcare organizations gain the trust and resilience needed to safely embrace the benefits of AI. This is a timely conversation for leaders across healthcare and cybersecurity. The sector is on the edge of an AI revolution, but the choices made now will determine whether that revolution strengthens patient care or undermines it.

Newt talks with Kevin Malone, a former Major League Baseball executive, about his journey from a successful sports career to becoming a dedicated advocate against child sex trafficking. Malone, who worked with teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and Montreal Expos, transitioned to a role as a commentator for Fox Sports and ESPN after retiring from baseball. His life took a significant turn when he and his wife moved to Las Vegas in 2018 to combat human trafficking through various nonprofit organizations. Appointed by President Trump in 2025 as a senior advisor on human trafficking for HHS, Malone leverages his experience to fight for the eradication of child sex slavery. Their discussion highlights his baseball career, his theological studies, and his commitment to protecting children from exploitation. Malone emphasizes the importance of public-private partnerships, the role of technology in combating trafficking, and the need for stronger legal actions against perpetrators. He also sheds light on the prevalence of trafficking in the U.S., the involvement of familial connections, and the urgent need for moral leadership to address this crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesus' parable of Lazarus and the rich man challenges us to examine the gates that separate people from justice and inclusion in our society. While Jesus never condemned wealth itself, he consistently emphasized caring for the poor and marginalized as central to his message. Today's churches often drift from this mission, focusing on beautiful buildings rather than dismantling systems of inequality. Modern gates include gentrification, healthcare deserts, and unequal education funding. The Bible calls us to break down these barriers by welcoming everyone equally and directing our resources toward those in need. By partnering with justice organizations, advocating for change, and creating truly inclusive spaces, we can live out the gospel's call to tear down the gates that divide us.
