UnitedHealth Group Chief Executive Officer Andrew Witty told senators on Wednesday that the company has now enabled multi-factor authentication on all the company’s systems exposed to the internet in response to the recent cyberattack against its subsidiary Change Healthcare. The lack of multi-factor authentication was at the center of the ransomware attack that hit Change Healthcare earlier this year, which impacted pharmacies, hospitals and doctors' offices across the United States. Multi-factor authentication, or MFA, is a basic cybersecurity mechanism that prevents hackers from breaking into accounts or systems with a stolen password by requiring a second code to log in.

The company introduced the "Pulse Premiere" ad slot last year, and it is now adding new partners to it.

Lamini, a Palo Alto-based startup building a platform to help enterprises deploy generative AI tech, has raised $25 million from investors, including Stanford computer science professor Andrew Ng. Lamini, co-founded several years ago by Sharon Zhou and Greg Diamos, has an interesting sales pitch. Many generative AI platforms are far too general purpose, Zhou and Diamos argue, and don't have solutions and infrastructure geared to meet the needs of corporations.
