Purpose: Cybersecurity advocates safeguard their organizations by promoting security best practices. However, little is known about what constitutes successful advocacy.
Methodology: We conducted 28 in-depth interviews of cybersecurity advocates.
Findings: Effective advocates not only possess technical acumen, but also interpersonal skills, communication acumen, context awareness, and a customer service orientation.
Originality: We are the first to define and enumerate competencies for the role of cybersecurity advocate.
Implications: Non-technical skills are deemphasized in cybersecurity training, limiting career progression into the cybersecurity advocate role for existing security professionals and those from other disciplines. We suggest improvements for professional development that encourage greater security workforce diversity.

In response to the increasing significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, there has been increased attention - including a Presidential executive order to create an AI Safety Institute - to the potential threats posed by AI. While much attention has been given to the conventional risks AI poses to cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure, here we provide an overview of some unique challenges of AI for the medical community. Above and beyond obvious concerns about vetting algorithms that impact patient care, there are additional subtle yet equally important things to consider: the potential harm AI poses to its own integrity and the broader medical information ecosystem.

Article Synopsis
- Medical errors occur in various healthcare settings and can have serious effects on patients and their families.
- The Zero Trust Model (ZTM), which restricts access to data and applications by default, has been effective in other industries and could help reduce medical errors in healthcare.
- Implementing ZTM in healthcare could enhance patient safety by improving data privacy, monitoring access to critical systems, and providing solutions to common error causes, while also addressing increasing cybersecurity threats like ransomware.
