I know it sounds boring, but it's really not. The article from Industrial, it's on the news site, dives into cyber resilience. for these kinds of devices, how roles and responsibilities for those devices shifts over the course of their life cycle and how that process can result in unmanaged security gaps.

There's a ton of great recommendations. You can pull the download from the article on the news site, or you can get it directly from HISAC. CyberScoop takes an interesting look at the Department of Governmental Efficiency, or DOGE. Not to get terribly political here, but I think a lot of us have concerns about the Elon Musk takeover of key systems across the federal government, and the lack of transparency, and the failure to follow decades of laws and regulations and departmental procedures when it comes to how those systems should be accessed.

Talking to a couple of high profile healthcare execs last week, they said, at this point They're fearful about the potential of major unintended consequences stemming from Doge's actions. Like all of you I'm watching, I'm talking to my representative, you should be too, and there's clearly going to be a lot more to this story.

We should all be keeping an eye on it. And the final story today, Dark Reading talks about the way cyber criminals are courting your own staff, offering them cash to betray their employer and divulge private company information. There's screenshots of some of the messages, and one of the offers says, quote, If you help us find this company's dirty laundry, you'll be rewarded.

Tell your friends about us. And you'll get a reward from us, end quote. So if you need another reason to look at insider threat, there you go. All these stories and a whole lot more are one of healthcare's fastest growing news sites. This week, health. com slash news. Today's two minute drill was brought to you by Intraprise Health, a health catalyst company.
