Senate bill eyes minimum cybersecurity standards for health care industry
Briefly

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden's Health Infrastructure Security and Accountability Act aims to implement minimum cybersecurity standards for health care providers and insurance companies.
'Megacorporations like UnitedHealth are flunking Cybersecurity 101, and American families are suffering as a result,' said Wyden, highlighting poor cybersecurity practices in the health care sector.
'These common sense reforms will set a course to beef up cybersecurity among health care companies across the nation,' Wyden continued, proposing accountability measures for misleading cybersecurity claims.
UHG's CEO Andrew Witty pointed out the urgent need for modernization in Change Healthcare post-acquisition, indicating that cybersecurity measures had yet to be updated.
