About

Cybersecurity threats in healthcare are real due to the interconnected nature of health information technology. Recent ransomware attacks have disrupted patient care and compromised sensitive data, leading to financial costs. It is crucial for the healthcare industry to prioritize cybersecurity and invest in protection measures. Collaboration among various stakeholders is essential to mitigate risks. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plays a key role in enhancing cybersecurity in the healthcare sector through initiatives like the HHS Cybersecurity Program (HHS 405(d)) and the Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3). This resource provides more information about these programs along with additional resources related to ransomware.
