The Anatomy of an Insider Threat – Infosecurity Magazine
Insider threats are on the rise. The World Economic Forum namedmalicious insider activityone of the top three concerns for cyber leaders. This supports what many cybersecurity and information governance experts have long expressed that internal threats are just as critical as external ones. Unfortunately, organizations are often less prepared to mitigate insider threats than they are for the more prominent, publicized external variety.
Insider threats occur from within the enterprise, either through unintentional mistakes or due to malicious insiders looking to steal or leak corporate data for a personal agenda.
Inadvertent threats can occur when, for example, employees make a mistake such as missending an email, misconfiguring a system, or otherwise failing to keep up with a companys security requirements.Insider threat incidents rose 44% between 2020 and 2022and reportedly cost more than US$15 million per incident.
In contrast, malicious insiders deliberately create threats. For example, our teams encountered a recent case at a fund management organization where an employee was caught stealing intellectual property. In this case, the employee wasnt sending data to a personal account or device but rather sharing and leveraging the organizations proprietary trading strategies to secure a position at a competing firm.
The organization had comprehensive security controls in place; as such, the malicious activity was detected when the employee triggered an internal warning system by printing a sensitive document. A lengthy investigation followed to uncover the full extent of the employees activities and the scale of exposed IP. This was particularly challenging because investigators were not looking for a specific file or document. Ultimately, the investigation successfully recovered the information from the employees systems, personal devices and the competitors systems.
The frequency of malicious internal attacks is increasing 67% of organizations reportedbetween 21 and 40 incidents per year in 2022, a 60% increase in frequency reported the previous year. Fortunately, there are behavioral and contextual warning signs that security, governance and legal teams can watch for. These include:
So, how can an organization best address this reality? Organizations should begin withrobust information governance, privacy and security programs supported by executive leadership and the board. Programs must be grounded in a risk-based approach and built into the foundation of systems and workflows. Companies should train employees to understand the potential risk in their actions, as well as implement monitoring and response capabilities so data breach and incident response procedures are established and maintained regularly.
Additional questions organizations should ask to determine their resilience against insider threats include:
Its impossible for prevention mechanisms to perform at 100% thats why it is critical to put systems in place that identify threats and that can be activated immediately once a breach, data loss or IP theft incident has occurred. Everyone within the organization has a role to play and, therefore, must be equipped with the training, tools and resources needed to help keep company information safe. People are an organizations greatest insider threat risk, but with proper guidance and investment, they can also become an integral defense mechanism.

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: An Unexpected Hookup and a Devastating Letdown – TVLine
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ cast poses for group photo at final table read for season 19 – ABC News
WATCH: Exclusive look at Meredith Grey's exit on 'Grey's Anatomy'
Outgoing "Grey's Anatomy" showrunner Krista Vernoff took fans behind the scenes on Tuesday for one of the show's most monumental moments.
Vernoff shared a group photo with many members of the main cast and a few others to mark the final table read for season 19, their first in-person table read in three years and her final table read as showrunner.
"What a gift this job has been," she wrote in the caption. "I am forever grateful for this ridiculously talented cast, this astonishing crew, these brilliant writers. Dreams DO come true. I will never forget the gratitude I felt today, and the love."
In the photo, Vernoff is hiding in the back row toward the center, standing behind series creator Shonda Rhimes. Posing in the front row nearly dead center kneeling on the floor is the show's incoming showrunner, Meg Marinis.
Main cast members pictured in the photo include Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. -- the final two remaining original cast members -- as well as Kevin McKidd, Camilla Luddington, Kelly McCreary, Kim Raver, Jake Borelli, Chris Carmack, Anthony Hill and Scott Speedman.
Also present are newcomers Alexis Floyd, Harry Shum Jr., Adelaide Kane, Midori Francis and Niko Terho, who play the newest class of interns at Grey Sloan.
Perhaps the most notable person present is Ellen Pompeo, whose titular Meredith Grey departed Seattle for Boston earlier this season. This marked Pompeo's exit as a series regular, though she is still an executive producer and lends her voice to the now-iconic voiceovers the show is famous for.
Missing from the group shot is Caterina Scorsone -- and fans definitely took notice.
Vernoff replied to one of the fans in her comments to explain Scorsone's absence was due to her being sick that day, saying, "Caterina was under the weather and because we were unmasked today, she was the wonderful community member she always is and stayed home."
The season 19 finale of "Grey's Anatomy" -- a two-hour event -- will air May 18 at 9/8c.

Grey’s Anatomy & Scrubs Share A Musical Link (& You’ve Heard His … – Looper
Before Chris Horvath jumped on board for "Song Beneath the Song," the executives over at ABC had vehemently opposed any suggestion of a "Grey's" musical. In fact, then-showrunner Shonda Rhimes had planned to have a "Grey's" musical since the show's premiere but had never made any headway with the ABC suits. However, once Chris Horvath became involved, it became obvious that he would bring style and substance to the proceedings.
In addition to working on music for "Erin Brockovich" and "National Lampoon's Gold Diggers," Horvath had composed themes for Toon Disney, as well as multiple brands. He had also worked on music for "Alias" and "Samantha Who." At various points in his career, he also worked on themes for the NBA, NFL, and Nascar, and arranged songs for the "Voice."
Muchof this background information was divulged in a behind-the-scenes clip for "Grey's Anatomy" Season 7; however, the connection between "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scrubs" remains a surprising one. Still, at least fans know whom to thank now.

Addison Montgomery Is Still One of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’s Best Characters – Collider
Editor's Note: The following contains minor spoilers for Season 19 of Grey's Anatomy
When Addison (Kate Walsh) first strolled into Seattle Grace Hospital right before the credits rolled on the Grey's Anatomy Season 1 finale, there was no telling what kind of ride audiences were in for. She introduced herself as Addison Shepherd, AKA Dereks (Patrick Dempsey) estranged wife, and seemed to spell nothing but trouble. However, there was no way of knowing just how much of an impact she would go on to have on the show. She was more than a roadblock for Derek and Merediths (Ellen Pompeo) relationship, and she was definitely more than just Dereks wife. She held her own and was a strong, capable character that was so layered. She may have left Grey's Anatomy as a series regular in the shows third season but even with every new character that has come and gone, Addisons mark on the show has remained strong, and without her, it wouldnt be what it is today.
RELATED: 'Grey's Anatomy' Renewed for Season 20 at ABC
Addisons joining of the Seattle Grace crew took a bit of convincing. She and Derek were on the outs (he called her Satan!) ,and she had a whole life back in New York. But Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) was determined to keep her around, and he got his way, even if she did primarily agree to stay in an attempt to save her marriage with Derek. Her becoming a regular would spell drama for both Meredith and Derek, but while that may have been her original role, she quickly proved that there was much more to her than just the ring on her finger that made her Mrs. Shepherd.
Not only was Addison a phenomenal doctor (and one of the foremost neonatal surgeons in the country) but she also had a lot of heart to her that just brought so much to her character. She fought hard for her marriage, even when it felt hopeless, even when she knew Derek had eyes for Meredith. She cared immensely for her patients and did everything she could for them. And she was an incredible mentor to those around her, most notably Alex Karev (Justin Chambers.) Without her, Alex likely would have stayed his cold, grumpy, pompous self with little remorse for those around him. She forced him onto her service as punishment, but he actually grew to respect it, and thanks to her found a real appreciation and interest in neonatal surgery. Her time as a main character in Grey's Anatomy may have been brief, but she left an impact.
This is why she scored her own spin-off, Private Practice, in which she relocated to L.A and took a job offer from her friend Naomi (Audra McDonald) to join her practice. One of Shonda Rhimes' best TV shows and a worthy spin-off, Private Practice peeled back even more of Addisons layers and allowed viewers to know her on an even deeper level, learning that she was much more fragile and damaged than she ever let on. Her arc was beautiful as she grew into herself and put together her missing pieces. She went on to run the practice and also became a mother to Henry through adoption after struggling with fertility issues. Her fertility issues were one of the biggest and most poignant pieces of the show and her character, and we watched as she continuously struggled through the difficulties of IVF, adoption, and everything in between before it eventually worked out for her. This arc went on to become one of the most poignant storylines and resonated with so many viewers of the show, giving it a major leg up in terms of storytelling.
But there was another storyline that was pivotal, and that was Amelias (Caterina Scorsone) battle with addiction. Amelia had consistently been described as the most reckless of the Shepherd siblings, dating back to when she witnessed her fathers murder as a child. Despite being clean for a while, she unfortunately relapsed during Private Practices run after joining the practice and becoming a part of the surgical route there. The team of doctors rallied around her and staged an intervention for her, with Addison at the front lines of it, still seeing Amelia as a little sister despite her divorce from Derek. Its a tough-to-watch stretch of episodes, but seeing Amelia come out on top of it was all worth it, and the friendship she and Addison built remains one of the sweetest in the show.
In Greys Anatomys most recent seasons, it has been tackling more real-world issues, such as covid-19 and most recently abortion bans. It's the latter of the two which has Addison making more frequent guest appearances on the show. Before Season 18, her most recent appearance was all the way back in Season 8s musical episode, meaning it had been about 10 years since Addison had last visited and yet it felt like she had never left.
She first made her comeback at Grey Sloan in Season 18, coming up with a research project on uterine transplants. It was during it that we finally saw her reaction to Dereks death, as well as when she met him and Merediths children. It was a relatively lowkey arc for her, but it showed that her prowess for her career hadnt faltered, and it also let her vulnerable side shine through again as she revealed how hard the pandemic had been on her.
In the current season, Grey's Anatomy is continuing its foray into real-world issues and has given Addison a heroic arc as she works on the front lines and fights for the right to choose. She reveals that shes been threatened, stalked, and doxxed as shes set out to help women seek proper and healthy abortion care. She never gives up and thats perhaps one of the most alluring parts of her character. Shes resilient and shes a fighter, and she will stand up for herself and her patients.
Her impact and legacy are long-standing among the halls of Grey-Sloan Memorial, even if she only pops in sporadically, and theres something to be said for that. Even over 15 years after her final appearance as a main character, shes just as prominent as ever, and will forever remain one of Grey's Anatomys most valuable players.
Episode 16, "Gunpowder and Lead," of Season 19 of Greys Anatomy airs this Thursday, April 20, on ABC. Check out the promo below:

This Grey’s Anatomy Season 19 Scene Was The Most Difficult Of … – Looper
In the same interview with The Wrap about the "Pick Yourself Up" episode from Season 19 of "Grey's Anatomy," director/actor Kevin McKidd talked about the difficulty of pulling off a single take, no-cut opening scene resolving the previous episode's dramatic cliffhanger. McKidd said, "It was such an immediate, visceral moment to try and save this pregnant woman and her baby after being run over. It seemed like the perfect moment to do this whole thing as one, very immediate shot."
According to McKidd, he had been pitching the writers of the show the idea of doing an episode in a single take for years. While it had never come to pass, McKidd saw an opportunity when reading the script for this episode. "I read this episode and this scene was so immediate. It just screamed at me that this whole first act could be done in one shot. We've never done that on our show." He pitched it to the showrunner, and they were off to make this opening scene happen.

Benefit of chemotherapy for patients with early-stage breast cancer varies by tumor anatomy – Medical Xpress
This article has been reviewed according to ScienceX's editorial process and policies. Editors have highlighted the following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility:

A large retrospective study conducted by physician researchers from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center reports benefits of chemotherapy for many patients with early-stage breast cancer with rare variant histology, or tumor anatomy. These findings will be presented by first author Arya Mariam Roy, MBBS, during the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, continuing through April 19 in Orlando, Florida.
"The benefit of chemotherapy in the management of rare histological variants of breast cancer, such as mucinous, medullary, cribriform and papillary, is unclear in the current guidelines," notes Dr. Roy, a Roswell Park hematology/oncology fellow.
"Therefore, we queried the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2010-2018 for stage 1, 2 and 3 hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer patients who presented with these rare histological variants and compared the clinical benefits of chemotherapy in patients who received it versus those who did not."
Alongside study co-lead author Shipra Gandhi, MD, Assistant Professor of Oncology at Roswell Park, and colleagues, Dr. Roy examined overall survival and disease-specific survival in this patient population. Patients were assigned into chemotherapy-positive and chemotherapy-negative cohorts based on whether or not they received adjuvant chemotherapy.
Among 11,745 patients with a mucinous histology, 94 percent were hormone-receptor-positive HER2 negative. Among those individuals, 8.5 percent underwent chemotherapy and 91.5 percent did not. Data showed that the 5-year overall survival rate among all disease stages was higher for those who underwent chemotherapy compared with those who did not. The researchers observed a chemotherapy benefit in 5-year disease-specific survival only among patients with stage 3 breast cancer.
Of the patients with a medullary histology (1,787), 34 percent were hormone-receptor-positive HER2 negative. In this cohort, all patients with stage 3 breast cancer received chemotherapy, and their 5-year overall survival was 94 percent. Among patients with stage 1 and 2 disease, receiving chemotherapy was associated with better 5-year overall survival. The researchers did not see a 5-year disease-specific survival benefit with chemotherapy in any stage.
Ninety-three percent of patients with cribriform tumor anatomy were hormone-receptor-positive HER2 negative. The researchers documented a higher 5-year overall survival rate with chemotherapy in patients with stage 2 disease, but not in those with state 1 or 3 disease. Among patients in the papillary histology group83 percent of whom had hormone-receptor-positive HER2 negative diseasetreatment with chemotherapy was linked to a better 5-year overall survival at stage 2 alone.
"We observed that in hormone-receptor-positive mucinous and medullary histologies, chemotherapy has an overall survival benefit," says Dr. Gandhi, a Roswell Park medical oncologist. "In hormone-receptor positive HER2-negative papillary and cribriform histologies, chemotherapy can be considered an option for patients with higher-stage disease. Multicenter clinical trials are needed to further assess the impact of chemotherapy in rare histological variants of breast cancer."

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Fans Are Sad About Amelia & Kai’s London Breakup – Bustle
Spoilers ahead for Greys Anatomy Season 19, Episodes 14 & 15. Its been a rough time for Amelia Shepherd on Greys Anatomy. Not only has she just watched two sisters move across the country for job opportunities but her relationship with Kai may be slipping away, too. During the shows April 13 two-parter, Kai came for a visit and told Amelia they had accepted a work opportunity running a new lab in London.
Amelia felt abandoned by the news, though. And, well, fair: even though she and Kai were already doing long distance, theres a big difference flying between states and flying between countries. I dont want them to go, Amelia told Maggie. I want them to prioritize me. I want to matter.
Why couldnt Kai do their research in Seattle, Amelia wondered? The suggestion didnt go over well with Kai. Amelia, we work because of the long distance, they said. Because you get to spend half of your time with Scout, and the other half with me. And the two dont overlap.
While Amelia wondered if it was the same kids conundrum that caused their first breakup, Kai assured her it was something different. From the minute I told you about London which is the biggest career opportunity of my life you have made it about you, they said. There were no words of encouragement, no congratulations, no acknowledgement of how hard I worked for this. This is about you and me being at very different places in our lives. I love you. That is still true. But...
But, Amelia interrupted. Thats what people say before they abandon you.
Fortunately, the next episode promo teases Addisons return so Amelia wont be totally alone for long. But in the meantime, fans took to Twitter to request that the Greys Anatomy writers stop making Amelia say goodbye to her loved ones, please.
Several fans started theorizing about ways that #Kaimelia could still happen with some pointing out that a similar situation unfolded between Callie and Arizona in Season 7. Arizona had an amazing opportunity of her own in Africa, but decided to return home because she wasnt happy without Callie by her side.
And if Amelias romantic prospects arent meant to be, several fans proposed an alternate idea: surround her with the Private Practice family for some much-needed love and support.
Kate Walsh, for her part, seems to be down. That cast and I were all very close, she recently told Bustle. We all have our little WhatsApp chain. And I think everybody would be thrilled to do something in that area. [Even if its] for a limited thing.
Whatever it takes, please let Amelia be happy!

The anatomy of Jordan Walkers hitting streak (in charts) – Viva El Birdos
The hitting streak is dead, viva the hitting streak!
The first thing I must do is shout out former Viva El Birdos writer Ben Clemens. I am clearly biased, but now over at Fangraphs he has consistently written some of my favorite things about baseball. On Wednesday he wrote This Article Is Not About a Hitting Streak about Jordan Walker and it is really good, as always.
But the next thing I must do is blame him, because the game after this article came out the hit streak was broken:
I am kidding, of course. These words questioning the importance of a hit streak did not offend any sort of petty baseball deity thus dooming the streak to end. Definitely not. But in the article Ben does bring up something I had been wanting to look at for a while. You see, there are hit streaks and then there are Hit Streaks, you know what I mean? Which one has Walker been on? Lets look at some charts!
During the streak has had 50 plate appearances with 15 hits, 2 doubles, 2 homers, a 2% walk rate, a 22% K-rate, all for a slash line of .319/.360/.489 and a 132 wRC+. Here are how those hits shake out, per Baseball Savant:
Along with the launch angle:
This classic pull hits in the air results is also reflected Walkers current approach at the plate. As Ben mentioned in his article, it looks like he is looking for inside pitches to thwack. Here are the pitches he has swung at, per Baseball Savant:
Along with batted ball type:
This all lines up with the pitches he not swinging at:
So what can we glean from these? To be honest, this is more for fun than anything else. In 50 plate appearances even the smallest blip makes a big impact on the data. Pitchers will like adjust and hopefully Walker can adjust and the dance will go on for years and years. But there are few things that caught my eye that I liked.
There are some mild concerns, though, and I think Ben did a good job bringing those up. The groundball rate is high, the walk rate is low, average exit velocity is middling, and the chase rate is pretty high too. But it is early, Jordan Walker is 20 years old and only 50 plate appearances into his career. There are a lot of good things in his profile, too. He has been really good against fastballs and at hitting mistakes. That is a majority of what a successful MLB hitter has to do. The really good ones just do a little bit more with the mistakes than others and there is a lot of time for him to do that yet.
In his first 50 Major League plate appearances, Jordan Walker has had an approach and seems to have stuck to that approach. The chess game has begun pitchers might start taking advantage of the sacrifice contact for power approach he has used to start the season. Maybe eventually some of those Wiffs on outside pitches will turn into hits to the opposite field. Maybe he will double down and start launching inside pitches into the stands. My guess is as he gets more comfortable seeing major league pitches his recognition will get better and the walks and power will both improve. Im excited to find out!
