The Department of Health and Human Services has established the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to coordinate cybersecurity efforts in the healthcare sector. With the increasing incidence of cyberattacks, including ransomware, ASPR has formed a dedicated cybersecurity division to enhance incident response in collaboration with agencies like the FBI. The division aims to address the operational disruptions caused by cyber incidents while supporting recovery efforts through initiatives such as the Medical Reserve Corps. ASPR is also working to incorporate cybersecurity into funding opportunities through the Hospital Preparedness Program and is conducting a sector risk assessment to tackle third-party risks from major providers.
