How the VA is using artificial intelligence to improve veterans’ mental health | TheHill – The Hill

Navy veteran Lee Becker knows how hard it can be to ask for help in the military.

I remember when I was in the military I had to talk to leaders [who] would chastise service members for getting medical support for mental health, said Becker, who served at the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, providing care to Marines and Sailors serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So when he began his career at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) about a decade ago, he knew things needed to change. In 2017, the suicide rate for veterans was 1.5 times the rate for nonveteran adults, according to the 2019 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report, increasing the average number of veteran suicides per day to 16.8.

The VA historically has always been in reactive mode, always caught by surprise, he said, citing the example of the lack of health care for female veterans, who are 2.2 times more likely to die by suicide than non-veteran women.

400,000 CALL ON CONGRESS TO EASE HOUSING CONCERNS FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES IMPACTED BY CORONAVIRUS

After an explosive report by the Washington Post in 2014 detailing tens of thousands of veterans waiting for care as VA employees were allegedly directed to manipulate records, some things have changed. This April, veteran trust in the VA reached 80 percent, up 19 percent since January 2017, according to the agency. And the former chief of staff for the Veterans Experience Office is now working for Medallia, a customer experience management company. He is the solutions principal for public sector and health care, and he helped launch the Veterans Signals program in partnership with the VA.

The programutilizesartificial intelligence systems typically used in the customer experience industry to monitor responses based on tone and language and respond immediately to at-risk veterans. About 2,800 crisis alerts have been routed to VA offices, according to Medallia, providing early intervention for more than 1,400 veterans in need within minutes of being alerted.

If they have the ability to harness this capability so they can sell more, why cant public service agencies have the ability to serve more? Becker asked. "It opened the aperture, making sure we really targeted the care. We were getting insights that helped anticipate future problems. We were able to identify veterans that are in crisis and route that case directly to the veterans crisis line.

Through surveys, Medallia collects customer feedback for the VA that seeks to understand veterans as customers with other identities outside of their military service. One call came from an Asian American female veteran living in Idaho who was scared to leave her house due to racist stigma blaming Asian Americans for the coronavirus pandemic.

I think the greatest tragedy is that I see a tsunami coming around mental health and if we dont mitigate that by truly listening and anticipating the needs of the people, were going to have an issue, Becker said.

Our country is in a historic fight. Add Changing America to your Facebook or Twitter feed to stay on top of the news.

The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated existing inequities for the most vulnerable communities. The VA medical system has recorded more than 53,000 cases of COVID-19 among veterans in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, AARP reported, withmore than 3,000 deaths not including veterans who were not diagnosed at VA hospitals and medical centers.

Access to care is still an issue. A report released last week by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General revealed deficiencies in care, care coordination and facility response in the case of patient who died by suicide after being discharged by the Memphis, Tenn., VA Medical Center. But Becker remains optimistic that he can make change from within the system.

"It has to start on the military side. We have to make sure that it's very clear it's ok not to be ok, if someone needs mental health support it's not weakness," he said.

And that support needs to carry through veterans' transitions to civilian life, Becker added.

"[The military is] a cocoon, you get fed, you have a job, you get issued clothes, he said. When you leave, how do we make sure that all of those needs are getting met?"

While hes optimistic, Becker is also a realist and he knows there are still very real problems with the VA. But he says its more an issue of capability than bad intentions.

Theres a few bad apples, Ive supervised those bad apples and I've had to get rid of those bad apples, Becker said. But hes also seen new leaders step up.

Its a tale of two cities, he said. Were seeing a set of leadership behaviors that are not conducive to the needs of what were looking for, but were seeing great leaders within the federal government who are career employees and even some politicians.

Would Bitcoin suffer if the lead maintainers were kidnapped by aliens? – Cointelegraph

It is a question that many in the crypto community must have asked themselves at least once. The news ofWladimir van der Laan taking a temporary hiatus, prompted us to explore what some might consider to be an improbable, yet highly impactful situation.

A Bitcoin Core developer that is also a maintainer of the project's GitHub account (i.e., someone who can merge code into the master branch)is a rare commodity. To put this in perspective, if a Bitcoin Core developer is a black belt, then someone like van der Laan is a third-degree black belt.

To set the record straight we interviewed the well-known sensei and master of the Blockstream dojo, Adam Back. He said that neither Laans departure, nor the disappearance of all the maintainers in the event of a potential catastrophe, would present a challenge to Bitcoin (BTC):

Back also opined that most in the crypto community do not truly understand the role of Core developers in the ecosystem and tend to overestimate their importance. In his view, the changes that Bitcoin Core developers can introduce are bound by being backward compatible and should not change the key properties of the protocol like finality, censorship resistance, or rate of inflation. He also noted that changes should preserve or improve privacy. Back believes if the developers tried to introduce ideals outside of this paradigm, they would be rejected by the ecosystem:

Back is also against any sort of on-chain governance as he believes that this would lead to the centralized lobbying groups taking control of Bitcoin, noting that this is a problem inherent to proof-of-stake protocols. We parried that with the current system, some believe that organizations like Backs Blockstream, Lightning Labs, Chaincode Labs and others that support Bitcoin Core developers, have a disproportional amount of influence in the ecosystem. Back replied that Blockstream purposefully does not take a position on Bitcoin proposals. At the same time, Core developers under the companys employ can quit Blockstream if they believe they are being pressured to do something bad for Bitcoin and the company would have to pay their salary for another year.

We asked the Hashcash inventor why, if the decision-making process within the Bitcoin ecosystem is so harmonious, do debates sometimes become so heated? It is well known that some have even lead to schisms, like in the case of the block size debate. In his view, this happened because some participants were trying to force their way to a change:

Working in the Cryptocurrency Industry as a Woman | Op-Ed Bitcoin News – Bitcoin News

It seems there is a lot of turmoil happening in the world, as the year 2020 keeps giving and giving. From natural disasters, a global pandemic, and race wars and riots, everyone is wondering what will happen next. However, something happened earlier this year that resonated with me personally, and I wanted to touch on this subject as I dont believe it has received enough attention and is a topic that in particular for this year, is important because of whats going on around the world, especially in the cryptocurrency space.

Its not a big surprise for people to hear or know that women in the tech sector are at times, far and few between. Depending on the space youre in, it may be hard to find other women in your office. For example, if youre a female engineer, you may be the only one or maybe there are two in your entire team that are women.

According to an article written earlier this year by CIO, women make up 47% of all employed adults in the U.S., but only hold about 25% of technology related positions. Also, women who are working in the computing sector are typically paid less than their male counterparts. On top of that, women have a higher likelihood of facing discrimination in the workplace.

Earlier this year, right when the United States was starting to get hit hard with the Corona Virus, there was news that hit crypto twitter Binance is hiring and the only requirements are beautiful young girls with big boobs. You can imagine my shock.

Being a female in a male dominated industry where its already hard to get a name for yourself, I was just sent back years by one of the biggest exchanges in the crypto space. From the different news articles that popped up on the issue, it was discovered that Binance was hiring women so they could exploit them in order to potentially get new clients and customers.

The exchange was hiring them not because they possess the knowledge and experience to do the job, but they were hiring them strictly because of how they looked.

They later recanted what happened, saying they were joking about the job requirements, however, the damage was done. Women everywhere in the crypto space felt this, especially those of us who work for exchanges. Binance being a peer in the space, set the bar really low for all us, and now we have to work our way back up, whether it was a joke or not.

Currently there are over 30 million people unemployed in the United States, primarily due to the Corona Virus pandemic. This staggering number has many people worried, including myself. If you split that right down the middle, which its probably not a straight split, but to argue the point, lets say there are somewhere around ~15 million women who are unemployed. Who do you think will be going after your job? With the bar set low, women are now facing an even bigger struggle to get employed and keep their jobs, especially in this booming space with lots of competition.

Being in the crypto space and working for another top exchange, OKEx.com, I have the personal experience and statistics to help paint the picture. Lets take a raw look at some numbers to give you a firsthand view into who is using these exchanges.

As you can see, the number of female users (29.8%) that come and use OKEx is far less than the male users (70.2%).

For the age demographics of people using the exchange, 38% of the users belong to the age group 25-34, and 31% of the users are 18-24, making up nearly 70% of all the users on our platform.

The top countries that represent where the majority of our users are coming from are Indonesia, Russia, India, Vietnam, China, and Ukraine.

As a woman who works in the cryptocurrency industry, I think I have a different view of the situation. Every workplace has its own gender preference at an early stage, and it will become more diverse as time goes by and the company grows.

One of the challenges that I face is the worry about being treated less with less importance compared to a male employee with my voice not being heard every time.

One of my friends asked me the other day if people at my work even want to hear a females opinion? Frankly speaking, I have not experienced this kind of issue, but it is still a concern. I do feel I work in a very healthy, organic, and fair work environment. I can speak up anytime I want to express my opinions in the office. But not all work places are like this, and as others have shown, women are not always treated equally and fairly.

Overall, in the crypto community, I feel valued. Also, most of the people that I work with are very professional. But this doesnt go without saying I have different challenges and issues to deal with being a woman and dealing with others who may not value what I have to bring to the table.

I have to say that representation of females in the technology sector still has a long way to go before women are no longer considered a minority in tech, and its a similar scenario in the blockchain and crypto sector.

At OKEx, Im glad to see other female employees, which there are plenty of. However, for web developers and engineers, its still far less below than what I would like to see, which is a general phenomenon across the whole computer science field. On my team, I am one of the rare female faces. This gender imbalance problem arises from school age challenges, all the way up to adulthood where women arent always treated the same.

My hope is that this will change as time goes on and new technologies emerge such as blockchain and crypto, which will help pave the way for women to give us an opportunity to make our mark.

She is passionate about crypto, business communication, reading, and traveling. She is also working on increasing the awareness of womens rights and trying to bring equal opportunities for women in the workplace.

While its important to have fast internet speed, we also need to be aware of security. You may want to protect your own information from outsiders or protect your children from the world wide web. Your router should help you do all of that. Lets see how the Gryphon router towers over the competition.

Its recently become common for peoples home security systems to be hacked, allowing strangers to look inside. So, its understandable for people to be wary of the growing need and availability of connected devices.

Better late than never: Zoom boosts security with 2FA – Verdict

Zoom has added two-factor authentication (2FA) to its video communications platform, a long-awaited feature that will provide a security boost.

Users that turn on 2FA will be asked to present another piece of information to verify they are the account owner. This could be a security code texted to a linked mobile, or an expiring one-time password sent by an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, as well as other authentication methods.

Account admins can turn on 2FA by signing into the Zoom Dashboard and heading to security. Admins have the option to enable 2FA for all accounts used at its company, or users in specified roles.

2FA is the latest security feature that the US company has added after it came under criticism for security flaws, including Zoom-bombing and encryption concerns. These were brought to light due to Zooms soaring popularity during the pandemic, which caused revenues to rocket by 355% year-on-year in its most recent quarter.

In response, the company embraced the criticism head-on and established a 90-day security plan to address its shortcomings, with CEO Eric Yuan providing regular progress updates.

Security experts welcomed the addition of 2FA to Zoom.

This security inclusion comes better late than never, said Jake Moore, cybersecurity specialist at Slovak internet security company ESET. Zoom became the go-to conference call tool at the start of lockdown, and played well into the hands of convenience minded users rather than those focused on security or privacy due to its initial lack of security features such as encryption.

This new addition is a fantastic effort to help protect all end users and I urge every user to apply this essential layer of extra protection from now on.

Niamh Muldoon, senior director of trust and security at OneLogin said it was a necessary development given Zooms soaring user numbers. However, he cautioned that Zoom could go further than 2FA.

Moreover, Zoom should endeavour to implement stronger methods of authentication in the near future, she said.

The growing sophistication of phishing threats means traditional forms of 2FA like SMS and OTP are becoming risky. Zoom should introduce more modern forms of 2FA like WebAuthn, which leverages device-based encryption to prevent even advanced malware and man-in-the-middle phishing attacks.

Ensuring cyber awareness in the healthcare sector – Help Net Security

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare professionals have increased their reliance on the internet to carry out their job. From connectivity with patients, to the interconnectivity of different medical devices passing patient data, the threat vector has expanded dramatically, so cyber awareness has become crucial.

This has made the sector an attractive target for cybercriminals, with the plethora of research, personal, and confidential data available to them. Recent research surveying healthcare professionals found that 41% are seeing cyberattacks against their organization take place on a weekly basis.

Healthcare organizations have seen a significant rise in prominence over the last few months owing to their key roles in fighting the pandemic. Nations have celebrated the heroes on the frontline in many ways, so why, despite the humanitarian capacity of their roles, are they being targeted by nefarious actors?

Healthcare plays a fundamental role in supporting a nation and is considered a fundamental part of the critical national infrastructure. With its heightened importance during the current global pandemic, it has rapidly become a very attractive target for nefarious actors intent on causing chaos and disruption, by exploiting a time of confusion and uncertainty. Cybercriminals know that by denying the services of the healthcare sector at this time would have massive ramifications for the well-being of the nation.

By denying services or the efficiency of the healthcare sector, a hostile state actor can be seen as subverting the credibility of both the government and NHS Trusts. There is also a possibility that in attacking a healthcare organization that is part of a wider network of infrastructure, it may be possible to pivot to other critical facilities.

This could start with something as simple as an email with a malicious link or document that a healthcare professional clicks on or opens, providing the cybercriminal access to the wider infrastructure. This is a very real possibility, as our recent research found that 25% of healthcare professionals believe their colleagues click on links in emails from unknown sources.

Since the WannaCry attack on the NHS in 2017, the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors have been conscious of the possibilities of a ransomware attack. In addition to the loss of sensitive data, ransomware attacks can put the lives of patients at risk.

In addition to the healthcare sector, pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations are also in a global race to develop cures and vaccines for COVID-19, with an increased reliance on AI within the industry. This can have many benefits, including the acceleration of drug development and the production of medicine. This speed is obviously extremely important now. Despite this, there are also risks with the increased use of AI.

While health technology tools and organizations are more powerful and impactful than ever before, individuals or organizations within this sector potentially hold the keys to ending the pandemic. As a result of this, they offer more cyberattack surfaces and options for adversaries. One example of this technology is the increased use of mobile devices by healthcare professionals. This can provide great benefits such as increased availability and efficiency, but also increases opportunities for cybercriminals if not used properly.

Our research found that 81% of healthcare professionals are using corporate devices for personal purposes, which could pose a large cybersecurity risk. This means professionals could be checking emails from compromised inboxes, sending personal emails that may contain bad links, or using online shopping websites that are not secure.

Both biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have seen an increase in attacks compared to previous years. Reports have found the pharmaceutical industry is now the number one target for cybercriminals globally, especially for intellectual property theft. As these specialized companies move towards increased digitization and a reliance on IT and OT for development, storage, and understanding of more valuable data online, this threat only becomes more real.

Stolen data can either be sold on the dark web or ransomed back to desperate organizations which rely on access to critical documents, such as trial results, patient information, and intellectual property to continue operations.

With the medical sector having an increased reliance on AI, comes an increased number of devices, and objects being reliant and dependent on internet connectivity. This single factor leads to an increased number of potential, and vulnerable, exploitable access points for malicious actors. Unlike the many entertainment devices that aggregate to form our understanding of the IoT, there are multiple connected medical devices that are often unseen, but vital.

Connected medical devices have obvious benefits for clinicians, medical staff, and patients. These devices can instantly exchange data, or instructions on treatment. But this aspect is where some of the greatest dangers lie as the devices are often involved in critical procedures or treatments. Consequently, interference with the signals to a robotic surgical tool, for example, would potentially have devastating consequences.

It is well-documented that healthcare budgets arent keeping up with demand and this may prevent many organizations maintaining an appropriate and resilient cybersecurity posture. This often results in security policies not being able to keep up, or just not considered during the application, maintenance, and through life support of digital systems.

Because of this, it is even more important that healthcare professionals are as vigilant to cyber-threats as possible. One small example of cyber negligence can lead to a cybersecurity attack which happens every week for 41% of healthcare IT managers. These can result in service disruption, potentially postponing treatment for patients; or they can lead to huge amounts of data being leaked to hackers with nefarious intent.
