A recent investigation by ProPublica found that medical images and health data belonging to over 5 million Americans have been sitting on 187 unprotected servers, according to an article on the Forbes website.

• Encouraging everyone to think about how they use their tool
• Guidance - leadership must lead
• Consistency in reporting and communicating about security
