Welcome to Health-e Law, Sheppard Mullin's podcast exploring the fascinating health tech topics and trends of the day. In this episode, Jonathan Meyer, former general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security and Leader of Sheppard Mullin's National Security Team, joins us to discuss cyberthreats and data security from the perspective of national security, including the implications for healthcare.   What We Discussed In This Episode How do cyberattacks and data privacy impact national security? How can personal data be weaponized to cause harm to an individual, and why should people care? Many adults are aware they need to keep their own personal data secure for financial reasons, but what about those who aren't financially active, such as children? How is healthcare particularly vulnerable to cyberthreats, even outside the hospital setting? What can stakeholders do better at the healthcare level? What can individuals do better to ensure their personal data remains secure?   About Jonathan Meyer As a partner in Sheppard Mullin's Governmental Practice Group and leader of the firm's National Security team, Jonathan E.
