Government should go on offense against healthcare cyberattacks, says AHA

The American Hospital Association (AHA) is calling for greater federal support to strengthen cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. The AHA has provided feedback on a policy paper by Senator Mark Warner and highlighted the need for real-time insights into cyber threats. The organization also recommended support mechanisms, such as funding and reinsurance programs, to help hospitals manage cyberattacks and their aftermath. AHA emphasized the importance of coordination between healthcare providers and the government in defending against cyber threats.
