Rhode Island's two-member U.S. House delegation has turned over in the last few years. In the Second District, Congressman Jim Langevin dropped a surprise announcement in 2022 that he would not seek re-election after 22 years in office. Then First District Congressman David Cicilline, initially elected in 2010, made his unexpected departure last year. That latter move opened the door for Gabe Amo, a son of West African immigrants, to become the first person of color to represent Rhode Island in Congress. Along the way, the moderate pro-business candidate beat 10 primary rivals. But Amo now faces being part of the minority party in Washington as Democrats adjust to the new reality of Donald Trump's second term in the White House. What does this Pawtucket native think his party needs to do differently to find its way back? How does Amo expect the Trump administration to affect the federal government? And what level of responsibility does he assign Democrats for the party's struggles?

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society. In this episode, Justin interviews Davis Hake, Co-Founder of Resilience, about his career in national security work, including working with former Congressman Langevin, Homeland Security, and Obama's National Security staff. Davis tells about co-founding Resilience in the private sector to help organizations build cybercrime resilience. He introduces the Resilience Midyear 2023 Claims Report, revealing important trends discovered in cybercrime through claims data, Reliance research, and partner research. Davis closes the interview with a look to 2024, his plans for pushing the flywheel faster, and his analysis of what it will take to break the new cybercrime business model. Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMScast. [:27] About today's episode, where we will discuss cyber security trends from Resilience's Midyear 2023 Claims Report. [:36] First, a quick shoutout to the RIMS New Zealand Pacific Island Chapter and Marsh Australia and New Zealand, who welcome you to Embrace The Unknown: Unleashing the Power of Risk, a one-day event on February 12, 2024 at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland, NZ. [1:00] It will be a gathering of experts, thought leaders, and professionals from various industries to explore and discuss the critical role of risk management in today's dynamic and uncertain world. There will be sessions on AI, Resilience, and Adaptability, highlighted by case studies and insights. See the link in this episode's show notes. [1:21] It's never too early to talk about RISKWORLD 2024! Save the date, May 5th–8th, 2024 in sunny San Diego, California. Booth and sponsorship sales are open. Member registration opens this month, November 2023 and public registration opens in December 2023. Visit RIMS.org/RISKWORLD to learn all about it. [1:51] Our guest today, Davis Hake, is the Co-Founder of Resilience, which recently released its Midyear 2023 Claims Report. They say ransomware is entering a new era as cybercriminals have begun shifting their tactics to bypass security controls by hitting critical vendors and seeking larger targets for extortions. [2:14] They're big game hunting again and we're going to talk all about it with Davis Hake. Davis had a fascinating career in government and we will learn about that, as well. [2:33] Davis Hake, welcome to RIMScast! This episode was recorded in October, National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but as Davis says, every month is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month! [3:18] Davis grew up working in politics on the Hill, for Congressman Jim Langevin. Congressman Langevin was one of the first on the Hill to identify we had serious problems in our critical infrastructure in everything from power plants to communication. At about that time, Stuxnet became a public concern. [3:50] Congressman Langevin dove into looking at what we need to do as a nation to secure these larger problems. He realized cyber is an economic problem of incentives, cost, and how businesses manage their digital innovation. He set Davis on a path to be passionate about trying to fix it. [4:14] Davis worked for a time in the Obama administration for the National Security Council. He came to the private sector to work in cybersecurity and got together with his Co-Founders to build something that would take this technical problem to understand a company's risk and how they invest against it. [4:41] They looked at the insurance industry for how to drive better risk management practices and applied RM to cyber. They started in 2016. Now, in 2023, they have an amazing insurance team with some of the best folks in the industry, serving clients in the U.S., the EU, and the UK with close to 200 staff members. [5:32] Davis praises former Congressman Langevin for his intense concern about national security, not as a politician but as one who served not only his constituents but the nation. He worked across the aisle to serve the national good. Most importantly, he got things done. [6:18] Congressman Langevin left Congress in 2023. Before he left, he worked on the Cyber Solarium Commission, helped establish the office of the National Cyber Director, and helped establish some of the authorities that allowed DHS to build CISA. Congressman Langevin has retired to work on issues in the state of Rhode Island. [7:43] Resilience's Midyear 2023 Claims Report covers events from January through June of 2023. They wanted to report the data with actionable analysis on top of it. Besides Resilience claims data, they analyzed public data from other organizations to understand Resilience's data in the context of the broader cybercrime trends. [9:08] Third-party vendor risk has always been a concern. The change is that fewer and fewer companies are paying extortions to ransomware actors. So now groups are targeting critical vendors and running data extortions with thousands of victims. They don't encrypt. Resilience clients have filed incident reports on these attacks from Clop. [9:47] How do you protect against vendor risk? Risk transfer through cyber insurance is so important. Don't just look at the risk mitigation side, but also the risks out of your control. Insurance helps absorb environmental risks. With vendors, you can require that they prove verification from certain audits, like the SOC 2 Audit. [10:30] You can have vendors tell you best practices they follow with other clients. Are they practicing what they're preaching with their data security? You can limit the data you share with them. By just working with any vendor, which we all have to do, you are assuming their risk if they're holding your data and they're not your company. [11:22] The ransomware criminal marketplace is a bunch of startups, taking the easiest path to revenue. Running a negotiation, locking up a company, and ensuring that you get access to their backups all take a lot of time. [11:52] It is easier to target companies that have highly sensitive data they wouldn't want exposed and threaten to release it. Resilience sees a lower rate of payment for these types of attacks but those who pay, end up paying large amounts. The Moveit attack and following attacks are estimated to have made Clop around $100 million. [12:44] The Resilience report discusses data from other groups that show less than 40% of encryption victims are paying ransom, down from 80% in 2022. Resilience works to prepare their clients against ransomware attacks and about 15% of their clients attacked by ransomware pay the ransom. That number has gone down since 2022. [15:06] Resilience helps clients to imagine the worst day for their clients. Let's work backward to ensure that the worst day doesn't happen. That thinking has been core in helping companies reduce paying extortions. When executives pay extortions, it's usually in a panic, thinking they can make this worst day immediately go away. [15:49] If criminal groups have access to your data, they will do everything they can to use it against you. Prepare to protect that data in a way that is incredibly secure or resilient or make your organization resilient to this type of pressure. That's the best thing you can do to limit financial loss and protect your customers from their worst day. [16:21] RIMS plug time!

[19:01] After the Colonial Pipeline attack, the U.S. security establishment got much more serious about ransomware. Defense against cybercrime was something that had been left up to the private sector. The administration started to take cybercrime seriously and cooperate with industry, working with CISA and the FBI heavily to fight back. [19:48] When the War in Ukraine happened, the cooperation between the public and private sectors in the fight against ransomware intensified. As organizations have become more resilient against paying extortion, cybercriminals have to go after the big guys to get a payment. Cybercrime is indiscriminate between industries it targets. [20:29] In Q1, 2023 there was a tide of cybercrime targeting healthcare organizations. In Q2, there was a big tide against manufacturing organizations. Clop then hit a few vendors for educational organizations. Organizations like MGM and Caesar's which were hit, have massive networks full of devices they monitor, with different networks. [21:13] MGM refused to pay, while Caesar's paid the extortion. The reporting shows that Caesar's has had an easier road to recovery. It may make more economic sense for large companies to pay the extortion. But that's a bad message. That's what has Resilience concerned. More complex clients, though better defended, are likely to pay. [22:02] Groups like Clop are choosy about their targets and prioritize large organizations with a lot to lose. To successfully defend cyber in an enterprise, all the tech teams must work together and not remain siloed. Incentives have to come from the top that get the CIO, Risk, and Finance planning budgets together. It's how your team works together. [23:06] Davis served briefly on the National Security staff in the Obama Administration after working in Homeland Security. [23:22] After the Obama Administration, a lot of the National Security staff moved to the private sector. Some continued to fight the security fight. The CEO of Resilience is a part-time Reservist working in Cyberdefense. He sees the national-level mission and the larger cyber trends. [24:18] Most insurance is not operational; it's reactionary, working with prior data to price the risk. In cyber, you're too late if you're taking that approach. Resilience has a threat intelligence team, taking in data much faster than a traditional insurance organization. [25:07] Resilience is standing up a team that is working to provide technical analysis and trend analysis. They will show the large trends and the reasons they are happening, and validation from Resilience data and partner data. They're combining financial loss and impact with threat intelligence they are monitoring from the security team. [26:59] Davis says the tactic of encryptionless distortion is an evolution of the cybercrime business model, making it more efficient and effective. It's a call to action for security. Building better widgets will not out-innovate these guys. We have to build better strategies and better business models that take their business models down. [27:28] Resilience is working to build a better resilient flywheel, with insurance, visibility, and working with clients to address that will ultimately lead to lower financial loss for clients and the Resilience insurance company. They want to push the flywheel faster and faster until they can get inside the adversary's business model. [28:03] Special thanks again to Davis Hake for joining us on RIMScast.

You've seen it in the headlines, and maybe you've felt it in your own life: over the last few years, cyber attacks have become more frequent and more damaging. They can also vary widely in nature, ranging from minor nuisances to national security crises.Is there anything we can do to secure ourselves – as individuals, and as a society – from these attacks? Is there any way to get ahead of the problem, given the dizzying speed of change in our digital technology? According to our two guests on this episode of Trending Globally, to answer these questions, you need to ask some much deeper questions about the role of technology in society and the relationship between governments, businesses, and individuals. Congressman Jim Langevin represented Rhode Island in the House of Representatives from 2001 until 2023. Chris Inglis served as cyber director for the Biden Administration from 2021 until this past February and as deputy director of the NSA from 2006 until 2014. In this episode, you'll hear from Chris and Jim about the future of cybersecurity, and why it's so much more than just a technological problem. This spring, Jim Langevin is leading a study group at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs on the issue of cybersecurity. He recently brought Chris Inglis to campus to discuss their work together, including helping to create the Biden Administration's National Cyber Strategy, which was released in March of this year.

Joy Fox, who is seeking the Democratic nomination in Rhode Island's 2nd Congressional District, said she stands out from her opponents because of her roots.“I grew up here, I live here now, I worked in government here, and I run a small business here,” Fox said in a recent taping of “Beyond the Podium.”Fox cited the rising cost of prescription drugs, gasoline and groceries as the most important issue facing Rhode Island.“If we want to solve these problems, we need to change who we send to Washington. I think that we need someone who has to work for a living, not someone who grew up with a trust fund,” Fox said.The candidate explained why she's most qualified to tackle those issues.“My deep roots in this district give me a deep understanding of the challenges we face. I also have the experience of working for Congressman Jim Langevin and Gov. Gina Raimondo. This gives me a unique perspective to be able to hit the ground running on day one for you and your family,” Fox said.Is there an issue that she's changed her thinking about?“Given the recent actions of the Supreme Court, especially around Roe v. Wade, I think we do need to examine term limits for justices as well as the size of the court,” Fox said.Fox named former first lady Rosalynn Carter, the wife of President Jimmy Carter, as a political hero.“I have had the tremendous opportunity to get to know her and her work and she is a tremendous trailblazer when it comes to raising awareness about mental health issues, as well as for advocating for family caregivers,” Fox said.Fox also shared the best advice she's ever received.“When faced when a challenging problem or something that we need to solve, it's always good to have a diverse set of opinions around the table,” Fox said. “It's why I think we need to send the first Democratic woman to Congress from Rhode Island.”“The different perspectives we can put around the table, the better solutions we'll find for everyone,” Fox said.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California visited Rhode Island for the first time on Saturday to pledge the Republican Party's support for congressional candidate Allan Fung.McCarthy wants Fung to succeed outgoing Rep. Jim Langevin so much so that he attended a private fundraiser for the former Cranston mayor in Jamestown.“I think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity," McCarthy said in an exclusive interview with NBC 10's Gene Valicenti . "I'm not only just coming here today, but we're going to be here for the next 94 days to make sure he gets across the district."Fung is unopposed in the Republican primary.“It wouldn't be about a Republican, it would be about America getting back on the right track,” McCarthy said. “It's a change in this country that people want to have safety. They're tired of the cost of living, the inflation that's being driven by the Democrats. They don't want to defund the police. They want a secure border. They want to stop fentanyl from coming across. We need somebody like Allan to make that happen.”Langevin announced earlier this year that he would retire from Congress, setting off a scramble for the seat in the 2nd Congressional District."What McCarthy's visit means is the national Republican Party actually believes they have a chance of picking up a seat in Rhode Island," said Darrell West of the Brookings Institution.West noted that Fung has a fine line to walk to win over voters in Rhode Island."The thing that Fung has to worry about is the political extremism of the national Republican Party," West said. "He does not want to get so closely tied to Kevin McCarthy and Donald Trump that that becomes a real negative for him in Rhode Island."For McCarthy, Fung's candidacy is important enough to bring him to Rhode Island for the first time."Of all the places across the country I could come, this is one of the first places I made sure I can," McCarthy said. "When you meet Allan, you know he's special. You know this is a unique opportunity. You know what he has provided and what he's willing to give. You know the background, his experience."Reaction came in from some of the six Democrats who are seeking the party's nomination.“MAGA Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy supports privatizing Social Security, repealing the Affordable Care Act, and passing a national abortion ban," said Patricia Socarras, a campaign spokesperson for Seth Magaziner. "The fact McCarthy is campaigning for Allan Fung in RI confirms what we already knew— Fung and the extremist Republicans would be a disaster for Rhode Island seniors, Rhode Island workers and Rhode Island women."Sarah Morgenthau chided McCarthy for spelling Fung's first name wrong in a tweet that was later deleted.“I'm running to make sure this seat stays blue. Kevin can't even spell his own candidate's name. He's definitely not qualified to say what's best for Rhode Islanders,” Morgenthau said.She followed up: "Kevin McCarthy deleted his tweet. What he can't erase are his far-right stances, which @AllanFungRI seems happy to embrace."Joy Fox tweeted a picture of herself and her campaign team, reading, "While Allan Fung holds a secret fundraiser with Kevin McCarthy, we've been out walking in Elmhurst, listening to voters."All of this, as West says the race in the 2nd District could be competitive."Some of the early polling shows a pretty close race there, so that's unusual," West said. "Typically, Rhode Island has been pretty reliable in recent years in electing Democrats, but this year Republicans think they have a shot at that seat."If the Republicans sweep Congress in November, McCarthy is all but certain to become speaker of the House.Valicenti's interview with McCarthy also touched on House Speaker Nancy's Pelosi's recent trip to Taiwan and the Justice Department's investigation of former President Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia.

He also recorded an album of standards with the 49ers' cheerleading squad, then known as the Niner Nuggets, in 1974. Now for our feature story: Rhode Island airports have received the first portion of funds from the $1 trillion infrastructure deal. U.S. Senators. Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse and U.S. Reps. Jim Langevin and David Cicilline said the fiscal 2022 funding from the infrastructure bill totals about $9 million, which can be used to upgrade facilities and improve airport operations. The state's airports will receive about $45 million from the bill over five years. President Joe Biden signed his hard-fought infrastructure deal into law in November, declaring that the new infusion of cash for roads, bridges, ports and more is going to make life “change for the better” for the American people. The bill will bring a total of more than $2.5 billion to Rhode Island to rebuild the state's physical infrastructure, stimulate economic growth and create jobs. Rhode Island's main airport, T.F. Green International Airport, is getting $6.5 million of the $9 million. Westerly State Airport and Block Island State Airport are each slated to receive about $1 million. The rest is going to Quonset State Airport, North Central State Airport and Newport State Airport. “Our airports are important economic engines for the state,” Reed said in a statement. “This infusion of federal funding will help airports improve passenger experience and accessibility, replace aging infrastructure and upgrade terminals and facilities. This is a smart investment in enhancing connectivity and creating economic opportunity.” Langevin said that while the state has some of the best airports in the nation, they've been awaiting overdue renovations for years.

The House Armed Services Committee is organizing itself differently this year. It’s created a new panel focused on cybersecurity and innovation. Committee leaders say the new designation causes the need for staff and resources in those areas. Federal News Network’s Scott Maucione talks about these priorities with the chairman of the new Cyber, Innovative Technologies and Information Systems Subcommittee, Rhode Island Representative Jim Langevin (D-RI).
At the end of 2020, reporting revealed the dramatic SolarWinds hack of major American businesses and government agencies. Russia broke into leading institutions and cybersecurity experts still are gauging the scope of the damage. But this isn’t the only hack that Americans need to be wary of. The pandemic has also revealed the weakness of private business and ordinary citizens to protect themselves against malware, phishing attacks, and unwanted intrusions. Taking advantage of the security lapses exposed by remote work, hackers have held whole cities and companies hostage. Ransomware skyrocketed over the last year and exposed our fundamental vulnerabilities.In this situation, Congress and the Biden Administration must act to stop nation-state actors and lone wolf attackers that target Americans all the time. The United States needs a clear plan to combat cyber intrusions and ordinary people need to exercise much better digital hygiene. In this episode of Tech Tank, Darrell West speaks with Congressman Jim Langevin of Rhode Island on how government, business, and regular people can protect themselves from cybersecurity attacks.

Did you know Jim Langevin is up for reelection? Did you know that he has a formidable opponent? Did you see the debate on NBC 10? NEITHER DID WE! In our inaugural episode, take a listen as we dive into the debate for the RI 2nd District US Congressional Seat.
Born April 22, 1964, Langevin is the first quadriplegic to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. At the age of 16, Langevin was injured while working with the Warwick Police Department in the Boy Scout Explorer program. A gun accidentally discharged and a bullet struck Langevin, leaving him paralyzed. This is how Rep. Langevin recalled that moment, “I was in the locker room of the police station one afternoon getting ready to go on my shift. Two police officers were looking at a new weapon that one of them had purchased. Not realizing the gun was loaded, one of the officers pulled the trigger and the bullet ricocheted off the locker and went through my neck and severed my spinal cord. I have been paralyzed ever since.” The tremendous outpouring of support from his community inspired Langevin to give something back and enter public service.

Can federal agencies and hackers work together to improve security? Vulnerability disclosure programs—a path for security researchers, a.k.a hackers, to report bugs and issues—are old hat to the tech industry but would be new ground for most of the U.S. federal government. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has been working on a directive for such a program, though public comments show an uneasiness from some federal officials. Nextgov spoke to some seasoned vulnerability disclosure coordinators, and Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., to get a deeper understanding of what’s behind the pending policy and give implementers a glimpse of what lies in store.
The United States is starting to take cyber and cybersecurity more seriously. Some members of Congress think there needs to be a high level position to reflect that. An amendment attached to the House version of the 2021 defense authorization bill would establish a national cyber director in the executive office of the president. The office would have two deputies. Federal News Network’s Scott Maucione spoke with the author of that provision, Rhode Island Representative Jim Langevin.

House Armed Services Committee Democrats are scolding the Defense Department for doing what they call a shoddy job on a recent study. DoD was supposed to deliver a report that outlined the military installations most vulnerable to climate change and how to mitigate the risks. What Congress got was a report stating most operationally critical bases will be susceptible to recurrent flooding and drought in the next 20 years. Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), chairman of the Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee, recently sent a letter to DoD asking for the rest of the report. Federal News Network's Scott Maucione talked with Langevin about the report and what he thinks is missing.

Day in Washington Disability #Policy Podcast. National #Disability #Employment Awareness Month (#NDEAM) http://dayinwashington.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/NDEAM-Final.mp3 Audio file: http://dayinwashington.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/NDEAM-Final.mp3 TRANSCRIPT: Hello and welcome to Day in Washington. DIW is your disability policy podcast exploring and discussing issues and articles of interest to the community. I'm your host Day Al-Mohamed. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month or NDEAM. Held each October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a national campaign that raises awareness about disability employment issues and celebrates the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. NDEAM's roots go back to 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." Whereas Public Resolution No. 176, 79th Congress, approved August 11, 1945, provides in part: "That hereafter the first week in October of each year shall be designated as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. During said week, appropriate ceremonies are to be held throughout the Nation, the purpose of which will be to enlist public support for and interest in the employment of otherwise qualified but physically handicapped workers": Now, Therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe the week of October 7-13, 1945 as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. I ask the governors of States, mayors of cities, heads of the various agencies of the Government, and other public officials, as well as leaders in industry, education, religion, and every other aspect of our common life, during this week and at all other suitable times, to exercise every appropriate effort to enlist public support of a sustained program for the employment and development of the abilities and capacities of those who are physically handicapped. In 1962, the word "physically" was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to "National Disability Employment Awareness Month." I struggled a bit with what more to say for this podcast and thought that it might make more sense to have someone else speak. So, Congressman Jim Langevin, perhaps one of the most visible Congress members with a disability spoke at the Library of Congress for NDEAM a few years ago. I want to begin by sharing a bit of my personal story - what led me to Congress and why the issues of empowerment and accessibility are so important to me. Growing up in Rhode Island, I dreamed of a career in law enforcement. That hasn't worked out exactly as I had planned, but life seldom does. When I was sixteen, I was accidentally shot while working as a police cadet Explorer Scout. An officer, thinking the gun he was handling wasn't loaded, pulled the trigger to test it. It turned out there was a bullet in the chamber, and that bullet severed my spinal cord. I've been paralyzed ever since. At first, I was convinced that that gun, and this chair, had ruined my dreams. But I learned that a badge and a gun aren't the only ways to make a difference. You can also change the world with a ballot... a pen... a creative mind. . My work in government has flowed from the fundamental idea of personal empowerment. It's about giving people the tools they need to pave their own way. To me, that's the role of government: not to give people a hand out, but a hand up. giving people the tools to pave their own way to success. What we see here today, as the Library pays tribute to the historic leaders of the disability movement and the everyday heroes in our own schools, workplaces and communities,
Today on Ringler Radio, host, Larry Cohen and his co-host, Jim Early, talk with Congressman Jim Langevin, a Democrat, representing constituents from the 2nd District in Rhode Island since 2001. Congressman Langevin talks about his own personal experience with a structured settlement years ago that helped him and public policy for structured settlements today. Hear one of the best cases for the long-term security of a structured settlement instead of a lump sum settlement.
