A Syllabus For The Cybersecurity Of Operational Technology
The distance between most cybersecurity consultants and those of you with little to no knowledge of how a network works is under 400 pages of reasonably approachable reading. So fire up the printer and put some coffee on.

Global attacks are continuing - Health Service Executive Ireland hit
It takes a "special" group to target a country's public health provider and disrupt critical operations and procedures, holding the population to ransom.

A Study from UC San Diego Shows Covid-19 Can Be Detected In A Single Asymptomatic Person Through Wastewater Surveillance even if that person is living or working in a multi-unit dwelling. Wastewater surveillance can detect a case up to 3 to 4 days before individual testing can. Wastewater surveillance is an underused yet cost-effective, non-invasive mass testing strategy.
