Hey everyone. I'm Drex and this is the two minute drill of drill where I cover three hot security stories twice a week. All part of the 229 project cyber and risk community. I try to keep the podcast mostly plain English and mostly non-technical, so it's easy for everyone in the organization to consume so that everyone can do their part, to keep patients and families, and the whole health system safe.

Today's episode is brought to you by google healthcare systems are lowering cost and boosting endpoint security with Chrome OS devices paired with Chrome Enterprise, A secure browser that's trusted by billions of users. So now there's a safer way, a better way for healthcare teams to work safely on the web.

My 2 cents. This whole investigation makes the phrase trumped up. Charges really come to life. Trump also pulled Krebs security clearance and the clearances of anyone working at Krebs employer Security Company, Sentinel One. It feels like HIMSS all over again. Only this time it's the RSA Security Conference In San Francisco, government officials have told RSA they'll no longer be attending the conference.

The RSA stage usually features some of the nation's top national cybersecurity officials. Recall that Trump just recently fired. General Timothy Hoff. Who led both the National Security Agency and US Cyber Command lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have expressed bewilderment over that firing in the past week.

And since I'm on a roll, it now appears that CISA is bracing for another significant personnel cut As much as 40% of the agency could be eliminated in the coming days. Remember back in March, doge and HHS made CISA fire about 130 employees only then to be forced to rehire those probationary employees that they'd let go.

In retaliation, CISA leadership put those returning employees on administrative leave in reality, not allowing them to return to work. And then a couple of weeks later, $10 million in funding was cut from CSA for the multi-state isac. An organization that provides free and low cost threat detection and response to state and local governments.

And if you've been following any of the security reporting lately, state and local governments have been getting hammered by the bad guys lately. All that to say that if it's not clear yet, the federal government is not coming to help us in healthcare. There are some amazing folks affiliated with the government who will try, but even those organizations are primarily built with volunteers from health systems and other healthcare organizations who are sharing best practices, advice and guidance.

But if you're holding your breath for federal funding or new policy or legislation, I would advise you to be really skeptical right now from a cyber perspective. We're gonna have to help ourselves, build community, stay connected, find people you can lean on and learn from. And that includes other health systems, other great security leaders, and other great partners.
