For the first time in a long time, Washington DC is controlled by The GOP and Congressional leaders are preparing an ambitious political agenda.

We've seen years of partisan gridlock, and Republican leaders of the 115th Congress begin their new session eager to advance their own policies, which have been stalled for years.

While this leap year was certainly one for the history books, some fear what will happen next year. The fake news cycle generated by hatred and vile turned 2016 into a horror film version of the X-Files.

CYBERSECURITY

We have passwords for your smartphone and laptop, but what about our lifesaving devices like pacemakers or insulin pumps? The federal government released official guidances on medical device cybersecurity steps.

Have a way to monitor and detect cyber security vulnerabilities in their devices.

Understand, assess and detect the level of risk a vulnerability poses to patient safety.

Establish a process for working with cyber security researchers and other stakeholders to receive information about potential vulnerabilities known as a “coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy”.
