Gilbert may have called a most unusual paradox, the Wall Street Journal (subsc. may be required) reported on April 20, 2017 that security services consultancy Tanium had been using live, sensitive data of one of its customers, El Camino Hospital, in sales demonstrations from 2012-2015, and had posted some of those demonstrations on YouTube. There is as yet no indication of regulatory action with regard the sufficiency of the hospital’s oversight of its information security vendor, but the disclosure of the incident is less than forty-eight hours old.
