HHS, ARPA-H announce UPGRADE program to automate cybersecurity for healthcare entities: The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (a technology funding agency in HHS) has announced that it will put $50 million toward finding ways to enhance and automate cybersecurity in the healthcare arena through a new program called UPGRADE (Universal PatchinG and Remediation for Autonomous DEfense -- yes, like most clinical research trials, it's a tortured acronym).  If they can actually set up a program that sets automatic patching and recognized-security-practices-type policies that the average healthcare entity can easily adopt, that would be great.  I have a feeling that instead they'll produce hour-long videos and 1,000-page white papers that spend WAY too much time rationalizing the agency's people and processes, such that the end product will be a huge waste of time for users.  

We'll see. . . .
