Recent cyberattacks, including the severe incident involving Change Healthcare, have highlighted the significant risks facing healthcare organizations. The American Hospital Association has labeled such attacks as 'threat-to-life crimes,' emphasizing the dire consequences on patient care and hospital operations. With a growing number of medical devices and and their connection to core Health IT systems the cybersecurity threat landscape is more complex and perilous than ever. A notable session at the upcoming Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum at HIMSS24 led by Richard Staynings of Cylera will delve into the importance of a collective approach to cybersecurity, stressing that the responsibility extends across all organizational levels. This collaborative perspective is crucial for fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness and preparedness within healthcare institutions. https://lnkd.in/gtJ-tGuP

The growing occurrence of cyber-attacks on healthcare in the U.S. has prompted policymakers to consider what state and federal governments can and should do to mitigate threats.

New federal legislation that aims to set cybersecurity standards for healthcare organizations is needed, but many hospitals will likely require more funds to bring their defenses into compliance — and maintain those improvements, experts say. The Health Infrastructure Security and Accountability Act, introduced by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Mark Warner, D-Va., last month, would direct the HHS to develop minimum cybersecurity standards for providers, health plans, claims clearinghouses and business associates, including stronger requirements for systemically important entities and those deemed key to national security.  HHS #healthcare #cybersecurity #hospitals #Hhealth Data and AI – Healthcare – Blue Shields California and Salesforce - https://lnkd.in/dP9kpmr8 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
