Sen. Angus King shares healthcare security takeaways from Cyberspace Solarium Commission

The U.S. is dangerously insecure when it comes to cybersecurity, warns the bipartisan national Cyberspace Solarium Commission. Healthcare is a particularly targeted industry, but the stakes are high nationwide. Senator Angus King, co-chair of the commission, emphasized the need for closer collaboration between the private sector and the government. He also recommended steps for the healthcare industry to improve cybersecurity, such as cloud adoption, regular patching, information sharing, and prioritizing basic cyber hygiene. The government must also develop a better overall national cyber strategy and establish deterrent capabilities to protect critical institutions.
