HHS cybersecurity task force has second in-person meeting

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


The Health and Human Services healthcare cybersecurity task force, mandated by the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, held its second in-person meeting recently, according to an article on the Healthcare Informatics website.

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.
