The cross-industry task force was formed with a directive to prepare recommendations for improving healthcare cybersecurity.

The group is analyzing barriers private entities face in securing themselves from cyber-attacks, providing HHS with information to disseminate to the healthcare industry stakeholders of all size, and establishing a plan to cyber threat sharing between the federal government and the industry.

More meetings are scheduled for October and December. After the task force has completed its analysis, it will submit a report to Congress.
