Why the Biden-Harris Administration’s New National Cybersecurity Strategy Is an Important Step Forward for Health Care

The recent increase in healthcare ransomware attacks emphasizes the vital requirement for cyber defense. Due to workforce shortages and financial burdens from the pandemic, many hospitals struggle to improve their cyber defense.

The American Hospital Association (AHA) supports this strategy and cooperates with stakeholders to implement effective cyber policies.
