The U.S. Government is intensifying efforts to bolster cybersecurity within the healthcare sector, particularly for small and underserved providers. New regulations will make cybersecurity performance goals mandatory for hospitals, incorporating them into the HIPAA Security Rule to ensure a baseline level of protection.
The government emphasizes that both technology and service providers supporting healthcare must adhere to higher security standards. This initiative highlights the need for robust digital security measures to safeguard critical infrastructure and improve overall healthcare cybersecurity resilience.
