The Colonial Pipeline cybersecurity breach earlier this month exposed how vulnerable both public and private companies are to cyber attacks.
According to Supervisory Special Agent Samantha Baltzersen with the FBI Cyber Task Force in Albany, there has been a rise in cyber threats during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Healthcare organizations are generally very large, have lots of vendors, business partners and affiliates, Baltzersen said. There are a lot of mergers, so the attack surface for healthcare entities is ever growing. When COVID hit, they only got larger.”

Nurse, researcher, mother, immigrant, wife-those are just a few of the identities juggled on any given day by Jingjing Shang, PhD, RN, a professor in the School of Nursing. As a young girl growing up in southern China, Shang flourished in school, her interests in math and scientific research nurtured by parents who were teachers.

But in her high school senior year she learned at an information session for Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), her dream school, that she could combine nursing care with research. Shang earned a bachelor of science in nursing from PUMC and after graduation worked for three years as an hematology nurse.
