In response to significant cyberattacks in the healthcare sector, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services plans to propose new cybersecurity regulations to enhance data protection for patients. This comes after notable breaches at major health companies, highlighting the urgent need for updated security measures.
The upcoming proposed rulemaking will mandate healthcare organizations to encrypt sensitive patient data, ensuring that electronic health records are fortified against hacking incidents. These requirements aim to advance the standards set by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which have not been revised in over ten years.
