Cybersecurity Concerns in Healthcare
Cybersecurity response has been a hot topic, especially as critics label the federal efforts as feeble and fractured. Responsibility for health cybersecurity is divided among multiple offices, which impacts the effectiveness of responses and monitoring.
Understanding the Division of Responsibility
- The health department's civil rights office: Acts as a watchdog in compliance with health security.
- Two separate agencies, each handling different facets of the cybersecurity landscape.
- Challenges: Lack of cohesive strategy amongst agencies.
Impact on Public Safety
Evaluating these divides is crucial as cyberattacks escalate. Experts argue that without a united front, the security of healthcare systems remains vulnerable, endangering lives.
