- BankInfoSecurity Executive Editor Tracy Kitten discuss with Gartner Analyst Avivah Litan advances in attribution and the need for cooperation between business and law enforcement;
- HealthcareInfoSecurity Executive Editor Marianne Kolbasuk McGee analyze new Senate legislation designed to help secure vulnerable medical devices.
The ISMG Security Report appears on this and other ISMG websites on Tuesdays and Fridays. Check out our Aug. 1 and Aug. 4 reports that respectively analyzed the human element behind malware and the shifting battle on Russian hacking moving to American courts.
