IoT World Today – As we transition to a new decade, there is growing maturity in the field of IoT security, but also a wave of new risks. Cesar Cerrudo, chief technology officer at IOActive, warned, “Anytime we have more interconnected things, we have more security problems.”

Infosecurity Magazine – Patient care at a large hospital in northern France has suffered considerably after a major ransomware attack at the weekend, according to local reports. “Sadly, the targeting of hospitals with ransomware is a growing trend; earlier this year seven hospitals in Australia were also impacted by ransomware,” argued Cesar Cerrudo, CTO at IOActive.

The Register – “Sadly, the targeting of hospitals with ransomware is a growing trend; earlier this year seven hospitals in Australia were also impacted by ransomware. Hospitals are becoming a major target as despite new technology adoption being high, there is often a lack of cyber security knowledge, even though health data can be a very lucrative area for cybercriminals. This makes busy hospital staff the perfect targets.”

Information Security Buzz – The Rouen University Hospital has been paralyzed by ransomware, with an attack similar to WannaCry in 2017, putting lives at risk. Sadly, the targeting of hospitals with ransomware is a growing trend; earlier this year seven hospitals in Australia were also impacted by ransomware. “It is vital that there is greater education and that organisations do more to test their defences against hackers,” commented Cesar Cerrudo, CTO.

VMblog – There exists a trend towards heightened awareness in secure design practices, particularly, the attack and defense analysis technique, threat modeling. This trend implies two predictions for 2020 and beyond. First, security practitioners will need to understand DevOps software development practices to ensure that security can be designed into software from the start within a DevOps process. DevOps offers developers enormous productivity and operational gains.
