The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently awarded corporate agreements to fight against healthcare cybersecurity threats and improve information sharing, according to an article on the Healthcare IT Security website.
The agency awarded a total of $350,000 in corporate agreements.
Smaller healthcare organizations often do not have the same access to methods to prevent or respond to cybersecurity attacks, according to the HHS.
HHS said it hopes that “a streamlined cyber threat information sharing process” will help it send cyber threat data to a single entity, and that organization can then share the information with stakeholders.
