The Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency is ramping up its efforts to protect medical organizations from hacking during the coronavirus pandemic by hiring multiple security specialists with strong ties to the health care sector, CyberScoop has learned.

As the race for a vaccine intensifies, DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is turning to Josh Corman, who has long evangelized for medical-device security, to help expand the agency’s attempts to secure private-sector networks during the pandemic. Rob Arnold, a former private executive focused on small business’ cybersecurity, is also joining CISA to advise on how COVID-19 has changed cyber risk for critical infrastructure companies.

Raise the alarm on covid-19 airborne transmission

SARS-CoV-2

Simple things can make a big difference. Wear masks whenever you are not at home; even simple homemade masks can have a major impact. Open windows. Don’t gather in large groups inside with singing and loud talking. These three simple things will save lives.

Stop the spread by aerosols – microscopic droplets that can be inhaled.

That is why we must wear face masks, open windows, and avoid crowded indoor spaces with singing and loud talking. Thanks
