Companies increased spending on cybersecurity before the shift to remote work during the coronavirus pandemic, with more budget spent on identity and access management, cyber monitoring, endpoint security, and network security, according to a study released by consulting giant Deloitte and the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC).
Three major trends — digital transformation of businesses, remote work, and the shift to more partners and contractors — had already resulted in the lines blurring between the inside-the-office and remote worker, imparting momentum to the adoption of zero-trust principles, the report says. The trends have led companies to spend more per employee on cybersecurity in 2019 — 10.9% of their IT budget, or about US$2,700 on average per employee, up from US$2,300 for the prior year.

House FY 2021 budget incorporates Strategic National Stockpile stocking provisions - Homeland
In a $1.3 trillion government funding bill advanced by the House last week, pandemic preparedness remained front and center, with several provisions incorporated to demand adequate stocking of the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) and regular reports on that stockpile.
The provisions were originally put forward by U.S. Rep Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) in the Providing Protective Equipment Act.
"The widespread shortages of PPE equipment and COVID-testing supplies that we’ve seen since the early days of this crisis never should have happened," Malinowski said. "My proposal, which the House adopted today, ensures that Congress and the public will be told at the start of each year exactly what is necessary to keep a ready stockpile and that we’re all held accountable to fund it. The next time our country faces a public health emergency, we will be prepared.”
Disney's 'Mulan' coming to Disney+ in September for $29.99
Disney said on Tuesday, in a surprise move, that its blockbuster feature "Mulan," which has been delayed from its theatrical release since mid-March, will hit Disney+ on Sept. 4, for a premium price of $29.99.
With the stipulation that Disney will release the film in regions where it doesn't plan to launch its streaming service, that means the film will likely reach Chinese viewers in theaters. "Mulan" was expected to be a big boon for Disney in China during its initial slated release back in March.

Rising grocery prices are particularly painful for the unemployed - The Washington Post
Earlier in the pandemic, the shock to the food system collided with staggering layoffs and an economy forced into lockdown. Cars filled parking lots to wait at drive-through pantries. From the beginning of March through the end of June, food banks across the country distributed more than 1.9 billion meals, according to Feeding America. In March alone, food banks gave out 20 percent more food than in an average month.
"I left the United States to be able to afford groceries," said Valadez, who brought his family to stay with his mother-in-law in Mexico, although he maintains his California home. "Food prices are what's keeping us here."
