\nHealthcare workers will be able to enter and manage data from multiple inputs and systems. They can then analyze the data using AI and machine-learning-based tools. New government directives to healthcare providers specify giving patients more convenient access to their healthcare data. Due to this, many believe that providers are likely to embrace this new API.
\nGoogle Cloud Healthcare API is a managed, scalable environment to build clinical and analytics applications. It also supports HIPAA compliance and incorporates several data loss prevention schemes, and policy and identity management tools, according to Google.<\/p>\n
BeyondCorp Remote Access for Virtual Workers Launched from Google<\/h2>\n
To assist businesses in securing their most critical applications and data during this challenging time when many workers are doing work from home, Google LLC has updated its BeyondCorp<\/a> security framework. This change results in access being granted based on details about the particular users, their jobs, and the security status of the devices they're using. In short, this is a zero trust model.<\/p>\n Developers can now make use of Amazon's AppFlow<\/a> to manage the flow of data between AWS and other SaaS applications like Google Analytics, Marketo, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack, Snowflake, and Zendesk. The information technology services company Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. was the object of an attack by Maze ransomware<\/a>. In its statement, Cognizant acknowledges a security incident involving its internal systems, saying that its issues were related to a Maze ransomware attack. The City of Torrance, which is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area in California, has allegedly been hit by DoppelPaymer ransomware<\/a> actors. As a result, they have had unencrypted data stolen and devices encrypted.
\nWith BeyondCorp's \"zero trust\" security framework, employees can work from anywhere without needing a traditional VPN. It moves away from using access control based on whether users' access requests are internal or external to the corporate network. Instead, it assumes that users requesting access from inside the network are just as untrustworthy as those seeking remote access.<\/p>\n![\"CTA\"](\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/5442029\/c825537e-9998-44be-92aa-7a0a97b055c1.png\")
<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nDebut of AppFlow from Amazon<\/h2>\n
\nThis managed service enables users to create and automate bidirectional data flows without the need to write custom integration code. The flows use event triggers or can be scheduled to run at preset times or on-demand, according to the announcement from Amazon.
\nDespite Amazon\u2019s statement that the data flows can be bidirectional, it appears that the service is more focused on moving data from SaaS apps to other AWS services. From there, to other AWS services, where the data can be analyzed. Amazon AppFlow comes with many tools for transforming data to help with this.<\/p>\n![\"CTA\"](\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/5442029\/dcb611f1-612b-448d-8afd-7e3fea1fccc0.png\")

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nCognizant Hit by Maze Ransomware<\/h2>\n
\nAt the time of the announcement, it also disclosed that its internal security teams, supplemented by leading cyber-defense firms, were actively taking steps to contain this incident, as well as reporting the attack to law-enforcement authorities.
\nOver the last two months, Maze ransomware has frequently been in the news. Most recently, it was used in the attack on Chubb Group Holdings Inc. on March 26th, in addition to Hammersmith Medicines Research Ltd., a company working on developing a COVID-19 vaccine. This attack resulted in private data being disclosed on March 22nd.
\nSam Roguine, a director at Arcserve LLC, noted that the attack shows that the Maze ransomware gang isn't backing down.<\/p>\nDoppelPaymer Ransomware Hits Torrance, CA<\/h2>\n
\nDoppelPaymer created a site called \"Doppel Leaks\" in February 2020. In its most recent update, it has added a page titled \"City of Torrance, CA\", which contains many leaked file archives allegedly stolen during the attack.
\nIn an email to BleepingComputer, the DoppelPaymer operators claimed that in the attack on March 1st, they erased the city's local backups and encrypted about 150 servers and 500 workstations.
\nDoppelPaymer requires 100 bitcoins, or approximately $680,000, to provide a decryption key.
\nAs part of the attack, they also claim to have stolen approximately 200+ GB of files.<\/p>\nNew Phishing Campaign Masquerades as Customer Complaint<\/h2>\n
