The 229 Cyber and Risk Community here at This Week Health. Thanks for being with me today. Here's some stuff you might want to know about. There's a story in the Wall Street Journal titled, It's Time to Hand Cybersecurity Over to the Computers. Certainly an attention grabbing headline. And the authors are Larry Ellison from Oracle and Seema Verna, formerly of CMS, now also at Oracle.
And I'm sure the headline is built to drive clicks. And while I agree there's a lot of great cyber tools today with a lot of automations and AI and machine learning, uh, I'm 100 percent on board with cyber leaders reviewing and implementing those capabilities where it's appropriate, like to reduce the risk of manual errors.
But I'll tell you I'm 0 percent on board with handing the whole thing, the whole cyber effort over to the computers. I'm also not ready to take a cross country flight without pilots up front. Maybe that day's coming, But I don't think it's today. Speaking of click baitable headlines, there's one in CSO Magazine titled, The Death of the CIO.
The article makes an interesting case of the new world information services order, including things like Cloud and SAS and Shadow IT, and how there's a trend towards CISOs winding up in charge because Maybe they're just better at wrangling and managing and securing this new world order. I'll tell you that I do see trends in healthcare where CISOs are taking over the CTO role, and I've recently seen a CISO move into the CIO job.
I don't know if all of this will wind up being as exciting as an episode of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch. The most important thing should continue to remain our focus on finding the best person for the job, and doing the very best job for our patients and families. Finally at and t is investigating a leak exposing data from 73 million customers on the dark web.
ut the data's a little older.:
