Can we still trust our tech? A deep dive into digital trust with Mike Nelson of DigiCert
What happens when a single expired certificate shuts down a hospital—and a patient doesn’t make it in time?
Aug 8, 2025, 7:53 AM
In this episode of Health Stealth Radio, host Frank Cuttita sits down with Mike Nelson, Global VP of IoT Security at DigiCert, to explore the critical (and often invisible) role of digital trust in healthcare.
Mike doesn’t just talk about cybersecurity—he’s lived it, from medical devices to hospital networks to public health policy. With cyberthreats evolving at warp speed, and AI, remote monitoring, and even quantum computing reshaping the landscape, Nelson argues it’s time for a new mindset—and new tools.
Listen in to discover:
- What “digital trust” really means—and why it’s now mission-critical
- The invisible risks in certificate mismanagement (with real-world, tragic consequences)
- How cryptographic failures can shut down EHRs, devices, and even patient care
- Why automation is the only way forward for certificate lifecycle management (CLM)
- What “Secure MCP” could mean for the future of safe, trusted AI models
- How healthcare systems can prepare for the quantum computing threat now
