Biden’s National Cybersecurity Strategy calls for market forces, mandates

The American Hospital Association and HITRUST are optimistic about the Biden Administration’s national cybersecurity policy proposal. They believe it addresses the need to combat cybercrime and cyberterrorism in the healthcare sector. The proposal includes measures such as coordinated incident reporting, protecting medical data, conducting offensive operations against cyber threat actors, and implementing software security requirements. Both organizations will continue to work with the government to advance cybersecurity policies. Senator Mark Warner and HITRUST also expressed support for the strategy.
