information technology departments, simulations of and education on cyberattacks and cybersecurity, to less complex actions, like making sure policies are available in non-digital copies, passwords are regularly renewed, and requiring multifactor authentication access to certain devices whenever possible, to more simple measures like not leaving workstations unattended when open to patient data, not sharing your passwords and treating patient data as it was your own. Even recommendations to incorporate cybersecurity in the AmSECT standard or guideline is mentioned in the manuscript [ 7 ]. Congratulations to Kara Lung( who also just happened to have been appointed to our journal’ s Editorial Board this year!), for her fine work.
I hope you will enjoy the March 2026 edition of the Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology, and may your brain continue to witness neuroplasticity, by browsing and reading the many contributions featured within.
