First Rafale F4.1 is delivered to the French Air Force test center

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/07/2022 - 13:00 in Military

The first Rafale in the F4.1 standard was delivered on March 2 at the Military Air Specialization Center of the French Air and Space Force, at Air Base 118 in Mont-de-Marsan.

In 2019, former Army Minister Florence Parly formalized the development of the Rafale F4, describing the project as a true "technological, industrial and strategic leap". The arrival of the first state-of-the-art Rafale is just the first of a long list to come, she said.

"The first plane we received today is one of the F3Rs we sent to the Flight Test Center of the Directorate General of Armament, in Istres, for its software transformation," explains Lieutenant Colonel Guillaume, second in command of the Fighter Experiment Squadron (ECE). “Other brand new aircraft will come directly from Dassault’s production lines, and will complete the fleet of fighters gradually sent to Istres for the transition from the F3R standard to F4.1,” he adds.

The capacity contributions associated with this new generation fighter speak for themselves: integration of a helmet aim and new 1,000 kg weaponry, improvement of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons control, self-protection and the TALIOS pod. A real technological leap, which will accompany the pilots in the high-intensity conflicts of tomorrow. Several experimental stages are now waiting for the device in the coming months, based on the receipt of a second Rafale F4.1 next week.

From then on, the first phase that will lead to the "adoption" of the aircraft will begin. "The objective is to pronounce the latter so that the aircraft can be used by the pilots of the 30th Fighter Wing, in the shortest possible time," says Lieutenant Colonel Guillaume. This phase is crucial to allow the appropriation of Rafale F4.1 by the forces for training missions initially.

The next phase will consist of the approval of the first operational capacity of the Rafale F4, followed by the final phase of complete operational commissioning.

Ein Unternehmen im Bereich Cybersicherheit, veröffentlichte den Bericht „Unveiling the Persistent Risks of Connected Medical Devices“. Aufbauend auf dem Bericht „The Riskiest Connected Devices in 2024“ vom Juni, analysiert diese Studie mehr als 2 Millionen Geräte in 45 Gesundheitsorganisationen (healthcare delivery organizations, abgekürzt: HDOs) in der letzten Maiwoche 2024. Die Ergebnisse zeigen ein wachsendes Risiko durch vernetzte medizinische Geräte, wobei die am meisten gefährdeten Geräte Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Workstations und Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), Pumpensteuerungen und medizinische Informationssysteme sind. Hackerangriffe sind nach wie vor die Hauptursache für Datenschutzverletzungen. Im Jahr 2023 wurden dem US-Gesundheitsministerium 595 Hacking-Vorfälle gemeldet, was einem Durchschnitt von 1,6 Datenschutzverletzungen pro Tag in Gesundheitseinrichtungen entspricht. Die neue Studie von Forescout Research - Vedere Labs identifiziert 162 Schwachstellen, die Geräte des Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) betreffen. In den meisten Fällen zielen cyberkriminelle Angriffe auf vernetzte medizinische Geräte darauf ab, sensible Patientendaten zu stehlen, einschließlich persönlich identifizierbarer Informationen und der medizinischen und Behandlungshistorie. Im schlimmsten Fall können die Angriffe den Betrieb des Gesundheitswesens stören und die Sicherheit der Patienten direkt gefährden. „Die zunehmende Verbreitung von IoMT-Geräten hat neue Cybersicherheitsrisiken mit sich gebracht, und Cyberkriminelle nutzen Schwachstellen aus, um durch Lösegeldzahlungen oder den Verkauf von Patientendaten im Dark Web finanzielle Gewinne zu erzielen“, so Barry Mainz, CEO von Forescout. „Diese Geräte können 10 Jahre oder mehr alt sein, und man kann sie nicht auf die gleiche Weise schützen wie modernere Geräte. Wenn sie erst einmal in Betrieb sind, ist es sehr schwierig, die Software zu aktualisieren oder zu patchen, und deshalb sind sie weiterhin ein Hauptziel für Cyberkriminelle.“ Riskante medizinische Geräte - Die drei risikoreichsten Geräte sind kritisch für HDOs: DICOM-Workstations und PACS (32 % kritische, ungepatchte Schwachstellen), Pumpensteuerungen (26 % kritische, ungepatchte Schwachstellen und 20 % mit extremer Ausnutzbarkeit) und medizinische Informationssysteme (18 % kritische, ungepatchte Schwachstellen) sind die am stärksten gefährdeten medizinischen Geräte und könnten zu einer ferngesteuerten Dienstverweigerung, zur Offenlegung von Informationen oder zur ferngesteuerten Codeausführung führen. - Cyberkriminelle verstärken Angriffe auf DICOM-Server: Viele Organisationen nutzen unverschlüsselte Kommunikation, was es Angreifern ermöglicht, medizinische Bilder von DICOM-Servern zu erhalten oder zu manipulieren, auch um Malware zu verbreiten. Von August 2022 bis Mai 2024 stieg die Zahl der gefährdeten DICOM-Server um 27,5 %. In einem Honeypot, der von Mai 2023 bis Mai 2024 lief, beobachtete Forescout 1,6 Millionen Angriffe auf diese Server, im Durchschnitt einen Angriff alle 20 Sekunden. Während es sich bei den meisten Angriffen um Scans und automatisierte Versuche handelt, Standarddienste wie HTTP auszunutzen, zielen einige darauf ab, sensible Patientendaten zu stehlen. - Windows-Systeme sind gefährdet: Bei der Hälfte der zehn größten Schwachstellen handelt es sich um kritische Fehler in Windows-Systemen, die zu einer vollständigen Übernahme eines Geräts durch Remote-Code-Ausführung führen und von Malware ausgenutzt werden können, wenn medizinische Geräte online sind oder mit kompromittierten Netzwerken verbunden sind. - Den Geräten fehlt ein Anti-Malware-Schutz: Obwohl auf 52 % der IoMT-Geräte Windows-Software läuft, verwenden nur 10 % aller IoMT-Geräte aktiven Malwareschutz. Dies ist wahrscheinlich auf Software- und Zertifizierungsbeschränkungen für eingebettete Geräte zurückzuführen, die den Endpunktschutz erschweren und die Notwendigkeit einer stärkeren Netzwerksicherheit unterstreichen. „Organisationen des Gesundheitswesens werden weiterhin mit medizinischen Geräten konfrontiert sein, die veraltete oder nicht standardisierte Systeme verwenden“, so Daniel dos Santos, Leiter der Sicherheitsforschung bei Forescout Research - Vedere Labs. „Eine einzige Schwachstelle kann die Tür zu sensiblen Patientendaten öffnen. Deshalb sind die Identifizierung und Klassifizierung von Assets, die Abbildung des Kommunikationsflusses im Netzwerk, die Segmentierung von Netzwerken und die kontinuierliche Überwachung von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Sicherung wachsender Netzwerke im Gesundheitswesen.“   Über Forescout Die Forescout-Cybersicherheitsplattform bietet umfassende Asset-Intelligenz und Kontrolle über IT-, OT- und IoT-Umgebungen. Seit mehr als 20 Jahren vertrauen Fortune-100-Organisationen, Behörden und große Unternehmen auf Forescout als Grundlage für das Management von Cyberrisiken, die Gewährleistung der Compliance und die Eindämmung von Bedrohungen.

Glitch work by Elizabeth Hernandez

Lost- When creating this image, I first used Photoshop to design the poster. I began by creating a background with gradient effects and then adding the text. Then, to create the glitch effect, I used a website called Image Datamoshing (https://eyy.co/tools/datamosher/Links to an external site.) . My intention for this piece was to express a sense of confusion or a sense of being lost, and I believe the glitch effect adds to that feeling. It visually represents confusion, and the fragmented, malfunctioning elements strengthen the impression that things are unclear.  

Space Invader - For this image, I used the same website to apply multiple datamoshing effects along with other visual effects to achieve the final look. I saw this poster in a place I recently visited and chose to photograph it because it was visually appealing and, of course, because it is a game I used to play as a kid and hadn't seen in a long time. My goal was to portray a sense of nostalgia for the simple video games we might have played as children, like this one and Pac-Man, which I feel like share a similar vibe. If I’d had more time to further develop this concept, I would have created a collage of images from different video games and applied various datamoshing effects to them. 

Love Potion- For the final image, I reproduced a design I made recently for another class. The original artwork was an illustration of a tarot card that I titled "The Love Potion." I designed this illustration in Adobe Illustrator and generated the glitching effect by copying and pasting different elements from the original design. I also used some of the effects available in the software itself. My goal with this piece in particular was to deconstruct a preexisting design and transform it into something different but still visually appealing, as well as to challenge myself by creating this image without using any other app to see if I could recreate the same effect using the software I use on a daily basis. If I had more time to work on this idea, I would have definitely incorporated more of the elements that make it appear to be a glitch, as well as experimented with the color palette.

Privacy and Security Concerns with Medical Imaging in the Cloud

However, along with the benefits come notable privacy and security risks inherent in placing protected health information (PHI) in the public cloud.

Medical images contain highly sensitive patient data that cloud platforms could expose in these potential weak spots:

Misconfigured Storage: Unencrypted cloud buckets allowed open access.

Compromised Credentials: Breaches via stolen login credentials.

Vulnerable Data Transfer: Unencrypted data transfers over the public internet.

Shared Responsibility Failures: Cloud provider secures infrastructure, but healthcare org fails to properly configure security controls.

Insider Threats: Cloud admin staff abusing access rights to view or steal records.

Ransomware Attacks: Malware locking access to patient images.

Regulatory Non-Compliance: The platform lacks proper safeguards and auditing required by HIPAA, etc.

31% of healthcare data breaches are associated with misconfigured cloud servers and storage.

Any breach of medical images would be catastrophic for patient privacy. It could also lead to steep HIPAA fines and reputational damage for the healthcare provider.

Despite the benefits, data security concerns present a formidable barrier to adopting cloud-based medical imaging platforms. Patient privacy must come first.

Balancing Priorities: The Hybrid Approach

For many healthcare IT teams, the solution lies in adopting a hybrid approach to medical imaging:

Maintain physical imaging servers and PACS on-premises.

Extend certain workflows, collaboration, analytics, and viewer capabilities to a cloud platform.

Take advantage of cloud scalability for disaster recovery backups.

Employ multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and audit logging to lock down cloud access.

Encrypt all network connections and data transfers between cloud and on-prem.

Utilize network security tools to guard against threats.

This balances the benefits of increased accessibility and efficiency while keeping sensitive data on existing secured servers.

Analytics can still occur against anonymized metadata. Images stay where they have the highest level of control and protection.

The hybrid model for medical imaging aims to realize the collaboration and workflow gains of cloud software while mitigating data security exposures.

For large hospital networks, this gradual and guarded shift allows clinical teams to utilize cloud capabilities without jumping entirely into the public cloud.

Healthcare IT must carefully weigh both sides of the equation. But with strong guardrails in place, cloud-based medical imaging can balance improved patient care with privacy. The journey should start with small steps.

Cloud-based medical imaging platforms promise more collaboration and efficiency but raise valid security issues around protected health data.
