Digital risk in the healthcare sector has transformed into a clinical challenge, with weak governance, excessive access, and unmanaged vendors playing a significant role in compromising patient safety. The root cause of healthcare breaches can no longer be attributed to a single technical failure, but rather a complex interplay of these factors. Effective governance, access control, and vendor oversight have become essential components in defining patient safety. The notion that resilience can be achieved through the implementation of more tools is being challenged, with a greater emphasis now being placed on robust governance. A recent breach involving DeFi highlights the evolving nature of attack methods, which may have downstream regulatory and supply-chain implications. As digital risk continues to converge with clinical risk, healthcare organizations must reassess their priorities and allocate resources accordingly. The shift in focus from tooling to governance underscores the need for a more holistic approach to risk management, one that acknowledges the intricate relationships between technical, administrative, and clinical factors1. This new paradigm has significant implications for healthcare professionals, who must now consider digital risk as an integral aspect of patient care, and take proactive measures to mitigate its impact.
