Okay, I've got this thing I want you to try if you're a CIO or a non cyber exec listening to this. When later on today you see your CISO or a member of the security staff say something like, Whoo! How about that Microsoft Patch Tuesday release? Six zero day flaws? That's got to be a new record, right? Then just wait and see what they say.

Send me a note. I'd like to hear the reaction. But there were six zero days and 90 other security vulnerabilities rolled out on Patch Tuesday. If you've been putting off updating your machine, please don't. Back up your data and then apply the new updates. It's just good cyber hygiene. That term cyber hygiene is mentioned in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and it goes on to talk about a lot of the facets of the challenges healthcare organizations face in our current security challenged environment.

Prevention, resilience, business continuity, and there's some really great advice in there too. I like this one because it's from JAMA and it's written in mostly plain English, so it's a good education document to share with non technical leaders, And in the Sorry I Missed It category, Mike Sentonis, CrowdStrike's president, accepted an award at last week's DEF CON Hacker Conference in Las Vegas.

The award was called the Most Epic Fail Award, and it was taken in the spirit in which it was intended. Sentonis actually accepted the giant award, a super sized trophy, and He said he thought the trophy was too small, considering the size of the mistake CrowdStrike had made in July. He said while he wasn't proud of the award, he specifically made the trip to Vegas to receive the award in person and to apologize for the July blue screen of death event, saying it was important that CrowdStrike own the mistake.

There's a recording of his acceptance speech embedded in the story. And that's worth watching. The raucous crowd roars his approval at his comments, and you can find all those details on this story and all the others at ThisWeekHealth. com slash news.
