Defenders unite against cyber threats In healthcare

The screenshot above is courtesy of Norse ? a cyber intelligence company that uses their global sensor network to track cyber threats around the world ? in real time (online here). Warning ? this global view can be a tad mesmerizing if you haven't seen it. There's no audio, but it's easy to imagine a John Williams soundtrack from some epic galactic battle. Attack origins and their targets (down to the IP address) are clearly listed by country ? and type of attack. In the course of about an hour on a nondescript Wednesday afternoon, China had originated over 4,000 global attacks and the U.S. was the target of over 10,000 such attacks from all over the world.
