No good way yet to benchmark ransomware defenses or track progress over time. MIT's IPRI proposes new Ransomware Readiness Index and assessments via its SCRAM platform. Paper out today. internetpolicy.mit.edu/ranso…
"Critical infrastructure #cybersecurity policy should be guided by a broader vision of success that addresses not only the technological challenges to cybersecurity, but its economic and behavioral foundations as well.”

So proud of the outstanding technical work done by my students, showing serious risks of mobile app voting in a system that is actually being used today.
And thanks to @andy_sellars + @BUTechLaw who gave us confidence to pursue the truth.
Today, myself and co-authors @jimmykoppel and @djweitzner released a paper discussing a slew of vulnerabilities we found in @voatz, a blockchain voting app that's been used in US federal elections. You can read about it in the @nytimes! nytimes.com/2020/02/13/us/po…
"If we’re going to govern AI, we need to recognize it for what it is: a tool, with innumerable uses."
