Healthcare Payers: 2018 State of Cyber Resilienceaccenture
Healthcare organizations have made progress in defending against cyber attacks, but more needs to be done to improve cyber resilience. While the number of attacks more than doubled, security teams reduced the rate of successful attacks from 30% to 13%. To further strengthen defenses, organizations should focus on basics like asset protection, employ advanced technologies to automate responses, conduct proactive threat hunting, and ensure the CISO role evolves to address new business demands. With continued investments and transformations, organizations could achieve full cyber resilience within two to three years.
The document summarizes key findings from Accenture's 2018 Digital Refining Survey. Some of the main trends identified include: 1) Over 20% of refiners are taking multiple actions like changing IT roles and creating new organizational structures to address convergence of IT and operations; 2) 48% of refiners now rate themselves as mature or semi-mature in digital deployment; 3) Most refiners are only realizing a small portion of potential value from digital technologies, with 80% reporting less than $50 million in added value; 4) Lack of digital investment increases risks like loss of competitive advantage; and 5) Workforce skills are a growing concern and barrier to further digital adoption. The survey provides insights into digital adoption and opportunities

The intelligent enterprise in the experience economy for the healthcare industryMohammad AlZaubi
The healthcare industry faces tremendous change in every aspect of advancing business and the provisioning of healthcare. Today, the patient journey begins with prevention programs offered prior to admission to secure the well-being
of patients while capturing and using personal health data. The value and importance of analyzing and using patient data has increased significantly in past years – and demand for targeted analysis of patient data will expand in the future. In the experience economy, patients not only require transparent access to their healthcare data, they also expect to be informed
about every step of their hospital visit at any time.
Accenture's six-country survey among 180 C-level health executives says adoption of AI is measured, but real.
The survey assessed beliefs about market maturity, practical and clinical challenges to the adoption of AI in healthcare.
Enthusiasm for AI (artificial intelligence) is high among health executives, with people skills the most important implementation success factor.
Sufficient staff training/ expertise is rated the most important success factors for AI implementation (ranked in top three by 73 percent of execs).

This document summarizes key issues facing hospitals as the healthcare industry consolidates. Large integrated regional health systems will dominate as payment shifts from volume to value. Community hospitals must determine whether to remain independent or affiliate through acquisition or merger. The first step is an objective analysis of strengths, weaknesses, and market position. Scenario planning is also essential to contemplate potential paths. Cultural fit is important for successful consolidation deals. Engaging local stakeholders can help independent hospitals remain viable in their communities.
Critical Healthcare M&A Strategies: A Data-driven ApproachHealth Catalyst
Historically technology and talent were primary assets used to weigh the value of M&A activity, but data is an equal pillar. Buyers (the acquiring organizations) face enormous responsibility and risk with M&A transactions. C-suite leaders have a lot to consider—enterprise-wide technology, finances, operations, facilities, talent, processes, workflows, etc.—during the due diligence process. But attention is often heavily weighted toward time-honored balance sheet and facility assets rather than next-generation assets with the long-term strategic value in the M&A process: data. The model for conducting due diligence around data involves four disciplines:
Establish the strategic objectives of the M&A with the leadership team.
Prioritize data along with the standardization of solutions and the design of a new IT organization (i.e., a co-equal effort for data, tools, and talent).
Identify the near-term data strategic priorities, stakeholders, and tools.
Assess the talent and consider creating an analytics center of excellence (ACOE) to harness organizational capabilities.
The traditional decision journey of patients and doctors is being disrupted by digital technologies. Patients and doctors are increasingly using digital tools to research treatments and connect with peers. This rapid adoption of technology has caught healthcare businesses off guard. For pharmaceutical companies to succeed in this new digital environment, they need to undergo a digital transformation that involves realigning business models, technologies, and processes around customer value. However, the biggest challenge for companies is not adopting new technologies, but changing internal mindsets to think digitally. Companies must establish new digital ecosystems and take a long term innovative approach to digital strategies.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
