High Tech
1) Summary: Clinical trials software vendor hit with ransomwareName: Grant Gross Washington Examiner
Category: High TechEmail: query-bctr@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Washington Examiner
Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 7 October
Query:
A company that sells software used in clinical trials, including
COVID-19 trials, has been hit with ransomware, according to
reports.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/03/technology/clinical-trials-ransomware-attack-drugmakers.html
My questions:
-- Does this appear to be an attempt to disrupt COVID trials, or
does it appear to be a more general ransomware attack?
-- Are attacks on drug trials a trend? Is ransomware a common
way to attack drug trials?
-- What are the cybersecurity concerns related to drug trials?
Are there other things to watch for in addition to ransomware?

Our Thought Leaders in Financial Technology (TLFT) blog is a
follow-up to our highly successful Thought Leaders in Cloud
Computing (TLCC) (http://www.sramanamitra.com/big-data) series.
In TLFT, we interview thought leaders in the financial
technology sector -- whether they are entrepreneurs building
great companies, product/user experience designers building
great products, or executives at large companies with unique
perspectives on how the financial technology is evolving. We
discuss trends, disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities,
monetization models, challenges, socio-cultural impact and much
more in a seven-part series. We also try to highlight for our
audience gaps in the current value chain where they may start a
venture, from the unique vantage point that CIOs and CTOs have.
This is a wonderful opportunity to add value to the
entrepreneurial ecosystem of the world. This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue
(http://1mby1m.com). 1M/1M has syndication relationships with
many venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes
(India), Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and
among the top 100 influencers on the topic of cloud computing.

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 8 October
Query:
For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.
We use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach other
entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). I was also named as one of the top
10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015 (https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.

Query:
I'm working on a short article to explore "ambient
computing"--is there a common definition or if not, how do the
stakeholders define it differently? What technology makes it
work, and what's still needed? What kind of time frame are we
on? And what difference will it make?
Requirements:
I want to interview a couple of people who are involved in
making ambient computing happen--primary sources or
"stakeholders," to use the query's term. I will consider
analysts or consultants who've followed the field for awhile and
have some real insider perspective.
