        Threat Vector | From Cybersecurity to Cancer Care

        00:00 00:00

        In this episode of the Palo Alto Networks podcast 'Threat Vector,' host David Moulton speaks with Jim Foote, CEO of First Ascent Biomedical about his transition from Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to leading a biotech company utilizing AI to personalize cancer treatments. They discuss how Foote's personal experience with his son's cancer diagnosis drove him to apply cybersecurity principles in developing an innovative approach, called Functional Precision Medicine, which tailors cancer treatment to individual patients. The conversation also covers the role of mentorship, the importance of interdisciplinary skills, and the transformative potential of AI in both cybersecurity and medical fields.
