You'd think that mammography machines, radiology systems, and ultrasounds would maintain the strictest possible security hygiene. But new research shows that a whopping 83 percent of medical imaging devices run on operating systems that are so old they no longer receive any software updates at all.

As part of the industry's ongoing effort to split network elements into smaller pieces, AT&T, Palo Alto Networks and Broadcom have hooked up to develop the disaggregated scalable firewall (DSFW) framework.

Years ago, I held senior leadership positions in the U.S. military focused on cyber-operations, policy and strategy. What kept me up at night was the concern that a loosely controlled third-party actor or organization — operating with suspicious motivations or questionable skills at the behest of an adversary — might initiate a cyberattack that could escalate to a physical conflict.

The $560 million buy of SOAR vendor Demisto bolstered Palo Alto Networks’ ability to use AI and machine learning to further automate parts of customers’ security operations.
