Today I talked with Patrick Joyce, Vice President – Global IT & Chief Information Security Officer for Medtronic at the Minnesota Capitol Building about Cybersecurity. We had just participated in a panel during a Cybersecurity Breakfast hosted by MN IT Services. Patrick mentioned in our talk that he reads a number of publications about cybersecurity, including feeds from the NH-ISAC. Here are a few of the publicly available blogs that Patrick follows that he said he'd share with us: https://krebsonsecurity.com/ https://www.schneier.com/ https://www.darkreading.com/Default.asp https://www.csoonline.com/ http://www.itsecurityguru.org/ I also spoke with MHTA Research and Policy Director John Dukich about updates on tech at the Capitol, and shared some takeaways from our Spring Conference Last week. jdukich@mhta.org
