Hackers Next Target Medical Devices

Hackers Next Target Medical Devices Hackers Next Target Medical Devices Hackers Next Target Medical DevicesYouve heard of ransomware, when criminal hackers take over your computer and attempt to extort money to give control of it back to you.Imagine someone doing that with your insulin pump. Or your moms pacemaker.Its not just a plot from the TV show Homeland. Former Vice President Dick Cheney had the wireless capabilities on his pacemaker disabled in 2007 out of concerns over hacking. Its possible, and that possibility has health care professionals watchful.Wireless technology is seen as a way to make keeping track of ones health easier. There are apps that allow people to measure everything from the number of steps they are taking each day to their heart rate. Telehealth, where doctors can monitor and keep in touch with patients from far away, is becoming more common.But with advances come unforeseen glitches and people wanting to exploit the technology for nefarious goals.Accordin g to a report by Jennifer Madary Houck, published by Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE), about 23 percent of all the recalls of medical devices between 2006 and 2011 were due to software-related problems, and 94 percent of those presented a medium or high risk of severe consequences for patients, including serious injury or even death.Wireless implantable medical devices. Image MITThe makers of medical devices, researchers, health care providers, and the government have to work together to reduce the threat, says Dr. Suzanne Schwartz, associate director for science and strategic partnerships at the Food and Drug Administration.Cybersecurity is getting a lot of attention, as it spans across all critical infrastructure, she says. Its important to be proactive to strengthen security.The devices that draw the fruchtwein concern are pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators, and insulin pumps. All use wireless technology. Pacemakers and ICDs have wireless tran smitters, which allow for detecting irregular heartbeats, and also allow doctors to change the instructions to the device. Insulin pumps have a glucose monitor, and patients use a wireless remote control to manage their insulin settings.The devices are vulnerable in several ways. The remote control capability could be an opening to give a hacker or cyberattacker control of the device. The wireless communication feature, used to transmit data to the health care provider, can be used to gain access to the device and the data, if the device is not encrypted. Devices based on older designs might not be up to date in terms of security, and may not be getting security patches.Its not just individuals who may be targeted. Cyberattacks and viruses could target an entire hospital network, which could compromise patient information, both in terms of data theft and the ability for the hospital to access accurate information to treat patients. A hack could also be used as a way to extort money from a device maker.Device makers and health care providers are reluctant to discuss the threat, fearing the possibility of tipping off hackers and cyberattackers to vulnerabilities.There will always be vulnerabilities, Dr. Schwartz said. But vigilance can prevent them from becoming dangerous ones.In December of 2016, the Food and Drug Administration issued a draft guidance outlining recommendations to improve security for medical devices. Among the suggestionsInformation-sharing by manufacturers to respond to cybersecurity risks quickly and effectively.Establishing a clear process for how cybersecurity risks are handled, and how they are disclosed.A quick response to identified cybersecurity risks.Dr. Schwartz believes checking for vulnerabilities, and disclosing them, should be normative practice in the maintenance of devices.(Device makers and health care providers) need to establish and adopt best practices for cyber hygiene, she says. And they have to develop the appropriate IT infrastructure to advance security.A process for disclosing vulnerabilities is essential, Dr. Schwartz says.Dr. Schwartz cites the handling of a vulnerability discovered in 2016 in the OneTouch Ping insulin pumps made by Johnson Johnson as an example of how things should be handled. Jay Radcliffe, a researcher with cybersecurity firm Rapid 7, discovered a way that a hacker could spoof communication between the pump and the remote control for it that could have the device giving unauthorized insulin injections to the patient.The company quickly looked into it, and verified the vulnerability. It then reviewed the situation with the FDA. Johnson Johnson alerted patients and gave them direction on protecting themselves.With coordinated communication comes a greater level of confidence from the public, she says.The Department of Health and Human Services submitted a report on cybersecurity to Congress in June. In August, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) introduced the Medical Device Cybersecurity Act of 2017. The bill wouldCreate a cyber report card for medical devices.Mandate testing before going on the market.Require that cybersecurity updates and patches remain free and do not require recertification by the FDA.Put cybersecurity of medical devices under the jurisdiction of the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT)Strengthen protections for remote access for devices both in and out of health care facilities. For Further DiscussionDevice makers need to establish and adopt best practices for cyber hygiene.Dr. Suzanne Schwartz, Food and Drug Administraiton

What Working Mothers Want Co-workers to Know - The Muse

What Working Mothers Want Co-workers to Know - The MuseWhat Working Mothers Want Co-workers to Know Did you know that mothers are the fastest growing segment of the American workforce. And yet, theres so much about being a new mother in the workplace that many people arent aware of. Take the all-too-common annoyance that working parents get to leave work at a reasonable hour, just to pick up their kids from daycare. You might be surprised by how many of those people regularly put in split shifts- getting up early to get work done in the mornings and getting back online after the little ones are in bed. For example, I know of a working mom who regularly left the office before 5 PM every day. But the invisible truth welches that she was up at 4 AM almost every morning, doing conference calls to Asia, and then back at her computer late into the night. Because I have faith in people, I like to think that after dragging my body back to work just weeks after getting aleidher menschengerech t out of it (thanks, America, for being the only industrialized country in the world with no national parental leave), my colleagues will want to be helpful- its just that they dont understand the realities of working parenthood, and they dont know how to be an ally to the working parents around them. Of course, there are a lot of very knowledgeable bosses and co-workers out there, people who get that youre trying your best in a very challenging time, and who value all the skills and knowledge you still possess. But there are still some workers, managers, and business owners who could use a little dose of understanding on the new-mother front. So Im here today to share a few thoughts with you on how you can better understand the working mothers in your workplace, and how you might even make their lives a little easierbecause its the right thing to do, and because its good for business. 1. She Wants to Keep Being Great at Her JobIt takes a lot of daily willpower to leave your baby be hind each day (or at daycare) to go into the office. Yes, a new mom might take a moment to ugly-cry in the bathroom- it really is excruciating to make a new person and then leave him or her behind so quickly. But becoming a mother does not signal the death of ambition, or of taking satisfaction from a job well done. While a return from maternity leave will always require an adjustment period, start out by assuming that a working mother wants to be at work, and wants to keep being fantastic at her job.2. This Is a Physically Demanding- and Sometimes Painful- JobRaising a child is a job in itself. You probably get that, but you might not realize what it means in practice. From the second that little person wakes up to the second he goes to sleep, parents are responsible for keeping that child alive- even when theyre away at work. Exhausting is an understatement. New parents are not trying to pawn that exhaustion off on you, but it is a human reality- remember that moms are the fastest growing part of the workforce- so you ought to know that it takes its toll.For example, simply feeding a baby can be filed under really demanding. Taking a babys food source to work can be painful. Nipples may bleed, especially early on. And a new moms breasts are filling up with milk in between every nursing or pumping session, which can really hurt. Go too long without pumping- say, more than three hours- and that stuff hurts. So if youre in a meeting and announce that its going to run long, you could be dropping a pain-and-anxiety bomb on that new mom.3. When She Leaves to Pick Up Her Kids, Shes Not Asking You to Pick Up Her SlackLeaving the office at a reasonable hour- because daycares close, and thats not really negotiable- is not the working mothers attempt to make you do her work. She has boundaries that are impossible to ignore, related to keeping one or more small humans alive. But nothings stopping you from setting your own work-life boundaries too, kids or not. Shes doin g what she has to do- and rather than resenting her, you can probably speak to your manager about a flexible schedule, too, if thats something that matters to you.4. A Bathrooms Not an OK Place to Make Baby FoodMany working breastfeeders end up pumping in a restroom at some point, out of sheer necessity. But telling one of them to pump in there because you have an important call to take in the room designated for moms is simply not OK. Think about it Would you like me to cook your lunch in a bathroom? Not to mention, she (probably) has the legal right to pump at work. The Affordable Care Act extends the legal right to take breaks to pump at work to many working mothers (although many salaried workers are not covered). Many states extend further coverage. And many employers have policies in place to rckendeckung workplace lactation. 5. There Are Some Really Easy Ways to Help Her OutIf you want to be a hero, bring a new mom some snacks. Like we discussed above, shes exhausted and she mightve forgotten her lunch at home, again. Granola bars aside, there are many simple things you can do to be awesome, at no cost to youRemember those split shifts many working parents are putting in? Make it a point to look for ways your new-mom co-worker or employee is getting the job done, even if its on a different schedule than she had pre-baby. And once youve noticed, make sure others see it, too. Shut down anyone who decides to comment negatively on working motherhood- especially if theyre not parents themselves. Not cool would suffice. So would I think shes doing an amazing job, and she made a whole humanTake your own parental leave, if or when the time comes- especially men. Dont hide the fact that youre picking up your kids either (or taking time off to care for an aging parent or ill spouse, for that matter). We need to model respect for family needs as a norm of working life, at all levels. This isnt just about moms and babies, its about being human in the workforce.6. S hes Still Good at Her JobYou might be tempted to be annoyed at her tighter schedule- a schedule now heavily dictated by family needs. You might grow annoyed every time she posts another photo of her baby on Facebook, assuming that means shes slacking off. But please realize that almost every single working moms stressed about being productive, as well as what impression shes making at the office. Know this (and memorize this) She still has all the skills and smarts she had before she brought life into this world- her own world just has a slightly different shape now. All workers are human, and life is going to happen to all of us. Show up with a bias toward assuming the best- its likely that some day youll need that same kind of grace yourself. Now get out there and just be a normal, non-offensive co-worker to a lady doing a hard second job. Youve got this.

4 Creative Tips for Working Remotely During Crisis Weather

4 Creative Tips for Working Remotely During Crisis Weather 4 Creative Tips for Working Remotely During Crisis Weather While working from home is an effective way to avoid dangerous winter travel, sometimes inclement weather leaves telecommuters without power and Internet. Finding WiFi and power for your laptop during this time can be tough. Here are five tried and true WiFi tips that will keep you connected through the storm. 1. Local Coffee Shops Local coffee shops are the standard go-to when snowed out of power and Internet. You can purchase a beverage and a snack and enjoy a few hours of WiFi. Etiquette will dictate how often you should purchase items in exchange for this privilege, so please be considerate. Heads up: During storms power outlets can be at a premium. You’re fighting hundreds of other powerless neighbors and even the stranded traveler. If you can think ahead, bring a power strip. You’ll be heralded as a hero and get priority access to the electrical outlet. 2.  Grocery Store Cafes and Restaurants As consumers continue to expect WiFi everywhere, all kinds of stores are popping up with free WiFi, including grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Wegman’s, Martin’s and fast food chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King. Larger grocery stores often offer a separate cafe area with couches and tables to make it even easier to access the Internet and set up shop for work. Fast food restaurant workers are no longer surprised to see laptops dotting tables. 3.  Malls and Shopping Centers Coffee shops and grocery stores will provide the most comfortable working conditions, but if you’re closest to a shopping center feel free to check it out. Many stores such as Target, Macy’s and Sam’s Club now offer free WiFi, and some offer tables and chairs. If it’s a big enough store, you can speak with a manager to negotiate a certain amount of time of hassle-free Internet usage. Accommodating a considerate and respectful customer’s wishes is good business in a community experiencing inclement weather. 4.  Hotels and Airports If it’s close by, you might find free WiFi at a nearby hotel or airport. Check your local airport to see if it offers restaurant or comfortable seating options outside the ticketed security check point. You may end up paying a fee for parking and or food or service. Contact your office to see if you can write it off as a business expense. 5.  Portable Wifi Devices You might consider a portable WiFi device if your home is prone to Internet outages. You can secure a device through your cell phone provider, use your cell phone as a hot spot or buy a device such as Karma or FreedomPop. You can also turn to public WiFi maps such as WeFi to locate unexpected Internet sources. Using any public network means you should exercise precaution. Do so and you can stay productive and accessible, no matter the weather.

If Opportunities Lead Abroad, Will You Follow

If Opportunities Lead Abroad, Will You Follow If Opportunities Lead Abroad, Will You Follow If Opportunities Lead Abroad, Will You Follow? by Dr. Robert Taylor, University of New South Wale (Sydney, Australia) Early career engineers and scientists now have the opportunity to become global citizens. Todays communication and video conferencing technology are making international collaboration both instantaneous and free (e.g. Skype, Whatsapp, Google Hangout, etc.). Rapidly advancing communication makes it easy to maintain working relationships and collaborations with people from around the world. Also, a large majority of ASME members have degrees from American universities, which makes them very attractive to highly international employers. In fact, I believe the skills, abilities, and reputation of ASME members positions us perfectly to be integral members of a rapidly globalizing world. I also strongly believe that those who take advantage of these trends will have successful careers and will play central roles in meeting tomorrows engineering challenges. Heres the catch: Having cool apps and top engineering training does not build collaboration. Nor do they make a young, competent engineer into a renowned international leader. The most effective way to build contacts and collaboration (international or otherwise) still involves real-world hand shaking. It usually involves consuming calories (or at least caffeine) with people. One way or another, to get linked In or to get new contacts on LinkedIn you must get out there and meet people. In todays world, it is not enough to just build rapport with your current co-workers. To be successful in a global economy, todays engineers will need to build rapport on a global scale. I will be the first to admit that this may not be an easy thing to do for an early career engineer. Most of us can think of some important people from around the world that we would like to meet, work with, or even work for, but it is hard to make this happen. The best and (maybe the only) way to ensure this type of success involves travel. If you physically go to places where potential contacts will be present, particularly places where both calories and caffeine are available (such as ASME conferences), there is a very good chance youll build lasting relationships. Working Abroad It Could Happen to You At the risk of belabouring the obvious, Ill go a step further. If you are serious about building international collaborations and being successful in a global economy, I would encourage you to study and/or work overseas. This may not be for everyone. Yet, for young, mobile, early career folks, I think it is something you should seriously consider. Aside from many other benefits, looking for work abroad has the following advantages: It opens up a world of opportunities quite useful in a tight job market Some international jobs pay better and/or have better benefits By taking you out of your comfort zone, it forces you to learn about engineering (and life) in a whole new way Working Abroad It Happened to Me To give you a little background on why I am advocating this, let me tell you about my own (albeit short) career path. First off, I was born, raised and educated in the United States. With the exception of an occasional road trip to Mexico or Canada I rarely travelled. However, I did go to places namely Universities where plenty of hand-shaking, and calorie and caffeine consumption took place with people from around the world. In graduate school, I met people from China, Iran, France, Germany, Indonesia, India, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, etc. During many conversations with these people (when I probably should have been working), I realized that the world was both a lot bigger, and paradoxically a lot smaller, than I had previously thought. One thing became clear; my fellow students had travelled much more than me. In talking with fellow students, I also realized that I was not particularly well-connected. Contrary to what I had imagined, many of them were not planning to immigrate to the U.S. A significant number were coming to the United States solely to get advanced degrees and to make professional contacts. Their plan was to then seek employment back home or abroad. In China, for example, a person with a PhD can easily become a CEO or politician. In fact, many of Chinas leaders have been engineers. In India, the average engineer or professor can afford to buy a nice house and a staff to run it. Dont get me wrong, the U.S. is a land of great opportunity, but there are also a surprising number of excellent opportunities outside the U.S. Moving to the Land Down Under Thus, when I started thinking about what job I wanted after finishing my degree at Arizona State in 2011, I knew I had some catching up to do as far as developing real international connectivity. At the time, I knew I wanted an academic research/teaching job, but the job market was pretty tough with big budget cuts going on in state schools around the country. At that point, I essentially looked for jobs in my field without any restrictions on location. I applied for, and ended up getting, a job at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Note: at the time of applying I did not know anyone in, nor had I ever thought about even visiting, Australia. All I knew was that it would be an ideal place to build international collaborations. The process involved an emailed application, a phone interview, a Skype interview, and a high-speed teleconference (i.e. no visit). When offered the job, I simply took it sight unseen, and promptly applied for a visa. Needless to say, making this kind of big, life decision is unnerving, but it has been an extremely good choice. The Australian academic system is very encouraging and supportive for early career people. There are lots of scholarships, exchange programs and research funding for both resident and international students. In addition, for a country with a population of 22.6 million (~15% more than New York State), Australian Universities are quite good six made the top 100 in the 2012 Times Higher Education world ranking. Australias cultural and physical positioning has allowed it to hit well-above its economic weight class. In addition, Australian cities consistently place highly in terms of quality of life and liveability. The only drawback Ive experienced is that I have to sit on planes longer to visit my family, friends, and colleagues in the United States it is at least a full day to travel home. I also found out jet lag is a real thing! Otherwise, as mentioned above, staying connected with family and colleagues is not a problem with (free) voice, video, and chat through the internet. Just Do ItAt Least Temporarily Similar arguments can be made for moving to other countries. I am not suggesting that you have to move internationally forever, but a few months or a few years abroad could serve to really accelerate your career. According to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, people change jobs around 11 times between the ages of 18-46 . This means that by temporarily working abroad youd actually be following a similar career path as your peerswhile gaining much more international exposure. Overall, my advice to early career engineers is dont think too hard about where you want to study or work, but to look for the best opportunities available. I would also suggest that you think long and hard on those opportunities which allow you to make professional contacts internationally. If you do this, my guess is that the best option may lead you over oceans. If living overseas is too big a move, Id at least suggest that you put a high priority on jobs which allow you to do one or more of the fol lowing: Attend international meetings, workshops, conferences (e.g. ASME events) Work with people from companies and research organizations from around the world Actively seek new connections with key people regardless of location Take any and all opportunities to travel early in your career Lastly, dont just take my word for it.

Balance - How a Consultant Gets Work-Life Balance - The Muse

Balance - How a Consultant Gets Work-Life Balance - The Muse Balance - How a Consultant Gets Work-Life Balance Consulting, like many other industries such as banking and law, is often criticized for its lack of balance and intense working environment. These types of jobs require a huge commitment to work, and this can often mean that the other aspects of your life fall by the wayside. But just because you love the fast-paced and intense environments these careers offer, doesn’t mean that you need to turn into a complete workaholic and lose all semblance of a life. Here are some strategies my colleagues and I have found helpful in managing some balance in the imbalance. Whether you work in an intense industry like mine or not, they can be used by anyone looking to up the level of “life” in the work-life equation. 1. Think of it as a Game of Averages A lot of work-life balance conversations focus on the balance that people can find on a day-to-day basis. Unfortunately, when you work in an environment where this isn’t always in your control or what is expected of you (read: weekly travel and 9 PM calls), it can be better to take a broader view of what balance means. In other words, I often strive for average balance over a longer period of time. On a weekly basis, this might mean pulling 15-plus hour days Monday through Thursday, but that Friday evening and Saturday are completely off-limits for work. On an annual basis, this might mean working crazy hours plus weekends for a few months, but then seeking out an arrangement or project with a less intense schedule for the remaining months in the year where you can add in volunteering, working out, and more friend and family time. In consulting, due to the nature of the industry and how projects change quite frequently, it can be easy to seek out projects with different intensities based on what you need. The key is to communicate with your leadership and manager about your desire to take on a project with a different time commitment. Typically, people will accommodate it (as a gesture to keep you sane) if it’s something you need. 2. Pick Your Priorities While it might be easy to say that you want to have it all- a fulfilling and challenging career, an active social life, the ability to run competitive marathons, time to cook dinner for the family, a full night’s sleep, and so on- we all know that’s not exactly possible. So, a key step in finding balance is to have a clear prioritization of what is important to you. Balance doesn’t necessarily mean spending an equal distribution of time across all aspects of life in general- it can be (and should be) different for everyone. For example, work is most important to me, quickly followed up by my social life and working out. This means I typically eat into more of my sleep time than most of my friends and always look for convenience in my mealtimes. While I admire my friends who religiously pack their lunches and cook dinner, this just isn’t the most important thing for me, and I am more than happy to compromise it to achieve other things. It’s a matter of quality over quantity: By spending your limited time on what’s most important to you, you’ll feel more balanced than if you tried to cram everything into that time. 3. Delegate the Easy Stuff Now, about that low-priority stuff? There a few tactics and hacks that my friends who work in time-consuming and intense jobs apply. First, if you aren’t fortunate yet to have access to a personal assistant, consider hiring a virtual one or a student to help you with some of your tasks. Whether it’s booking appointments, paying bills, printing, shopping, or the other number of small tasks that add up to huge time expenditure and an endless to-do list, an assistant can help you unlock more time in your day for the things that matter. One of my friends who works in finance does this often, and she can’t ever imagine her life without the extra help. A number of my friends also use time-saving services such as house cleaning, pre-made frozen meal services, or grocery delivery to help ease the pressure of completing necessary chores. This can cut down on time spent doing not-fun yet necessary things like grocery runs, Sunday morning cleaning and laundry, and the like- and gives you more time for the things that make you happy. 4. Look for Small Wins While I do play a game of averages when approaching work-life balance, I also look for small wins throughout my day to try to achieve what balance I can. For instance, whether it’s taking the stairs or walking a couple blocks extra before hopping onto transit, a little bit of fresh air and activity can help bring balance to an otherwise hectic day. This could also mean allowing yourself a 15-minute coffee with a friend for a quick laugh, taking a step back from your work to read an interesting article, or just picking something healthy for lunch. While taking 15 minutes here or there might seem impossible to do, in reality it will have very little impact on your outputs (likely, people won’t even notice you’ve taken the time). But it will make a big difference in your energy levels and balance. Even though it’s extremely easy to just put my head down and plug away when the work is piling up, I try to find these little bits of balance wherever I can throughout my day, When you work in a demanding industry, it can be extremely hard to achieve the sought after work-life balance that is the topic of so many conversations, but by changing your perspective, employing some hacks, and focusing on the big stuff, you can get to a better level of balance.
