WSJ on Speaking Cybersecurity Truth to Power

This is a short post with a security message that appeared in a prominent place, a message worth repeating.

In the Wall Street Journal's relatively new CIO Journal, editor Michael Hickins highlighted recent statements from a local Boston-area healthcare CIO, and pointed to preliminary findings in a Carnegie Mellon cyber security and corporate governance report.

In "Speak Cybersecurity Truth to Power", Hickins said:
