New US government report: “Report on Improving Cybersecurity in the Health Care Industry.” It’s pretty scathing, but nothing in it will surprise regular readers of this blog.
It’s worth reading the executive summary, and then skimming the recommendations. Recommendations are in six areas.
The Task Force identified six high-level imperatives by which to organize its recommendations and action items. The imperatives are:
- Define and streamline leadership, governance, and expectations for health care industry cybersecurity.
- Increase the security and resilience of medical devices and health IT.
- Develop the health care workforce capacity necessary to prioritize and ensure cybersecurity awareness and technical capabilities.
- Increase health care industry readiness through improved cybersecurity awareness and education.
- Identify mechanisms to protect research and development efforts and intellectual property from attacks or exposure.
- Improve information sharing of industry threats, weaknesses, and mitigations.
