Summary
Recent cyberattacks have highlighted vulnerabilities in the U.S. healthcare system, affecting payment systems and care delivery. In response, the Biden-Harris Administration is enhancing cybersecurity measures to protect healthcare access. Key initiatives include the launch of a healthcare cybersecurity gateway by the Department of Health and Human Services, a White House convening of industry leaders to address cybersecurity challenges, and ARPA-H’s UPGRADE program to improve hospital cybersecurity defenses. Additionally, partnerships with Microsoft and Google aim to provide free or discounted cybersecurity resources specifically for rural hospitals, which are critical to serving over 60 million Americans.
