What I'm Reading (or Listening to) 2/9/2020

Cyberscoop - Securiosity: 20 minutes on S4x2020 -

20 minute podcast on the S4x20 conference.  

Politico - How Trump Rewired the Electoral Map -
This is the Electoral College on Donald Trump.
Familiar presidential battlegrounds—not just Ohio and Virginia, but also Colorado, Iowa and more—are fading from the radar. States that haven’t experienced a top-of-the-ticket dogfight in decades—like Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota and maybe even Texas—are suddenly poised to play a pivotal role.
Ars Technica - Why is the healthcare industry still so bad at cybersecurity? -
“It’s great if we are at the CyberMed Summit, we're talking to the FDA, we're talking to the device manufacturers, and we're talking to the people in hospitals at the C-suite level that make many decisions. We come up with all these great ideas and we come up with all this awareness about these problems, but if it doesn’t filter down to the individual clinician with the individual patient at the bedside, then all of it is really for naught,” said Dr. Jeff Tully, a co-founder of CyberMed and a pediatrician and an anesthesiology fellow at the University of California Davis. “If the concept of this big systemic movement is not translated to individual people, then it’s not as effective.”
“I have a lot of patients that I need to take care of, and I have only a finite amount of time to take care of them,” said Dr. Christian Dameff, Tully’s co-founder and the Medical Director of Cybersecurity at University of California San Diego. “Even with my cybersecurity expertise and my understanding of these problems, I still really wrestle with the thought of, ‘If I'm only going to see this patient for 15 minutes and might not ever see them again, do I talk to them about patching their pacemaker, or do I talk to them about their horribly uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure? Ideally, those things would not be mutually exclusive, but that's just not the reality of modern medicine and modern healthcare.”
