Coronavirus: You don’t get a pass when it comes to cybersecurity
On the surface, COVID-19 reminds us that what we don’t know can hurt us. Until a vaccination is developed and distributed, we can do little more than wash our hands, avoid those infected and stay away from major public gatherings…effectively hoping that preventative actions like this will keep us safe.
In the world of cybersecurity, we’ve seen that prevention is a broken model. When a network virus spreads without symptoms or other known indicators of compromise, it evades oblivious AV systems and firewall rules and the digital corollary is only detected once it’s too late and criminal symptoms manifest. By then, the infection has metastasized into business-disrupting or financially punishing events. Learn More.

NIH taking ‘people-centric’ approach to cybersecurity through Optimize program
The Department of Health and Human Services’ employees protect the personally identifiable information of more than 100 million people, and as one of the largest bureaucracies in the federal government, must defend a sprawling network against a growing number of intrusion attempts.
The National Institutes of Health, however, is taking a “people-centric approach” to this cybersecurity challenge, Jothi Dugar, the chief information security officer of NIH’s Center for Information Technology, said in an interview with Federal News Network. That approach, she said, exists as the central theme of the agency’s new Optimize IT Security initiative, which views NIH’s workforce as its greatest asset – not its greatest liability – in combatting cyber threats.
