Healthcare Industry Still Lacking in Cyber Threat Preparedness, While Cyber Attacks Targeted at Industry Increase
HITRUST, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is announcing they will conduct monthly cyber threat briefings. The briefings will aid organizations to better understand current and probable cyber threats relevant to organizations in the healthcare industry and share best practices for cyber threat defense and response. In addition, HITRUST has established a cyber threat alerting system to notify healthcare organizations when HITRUST’s Cyber Threat Intelligence and Incident Coordination Center (C3) identifies high probability and impact cyber threats targeted at the healthcare industry. The healthcare industry’s cyber alerting system, C3 Alert, is being coordinated with the Healthcare and Public Health Sector and Government Coordinating Councils.
