Summary
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services plans to create a centralized resource to improve healthcare cybersecurity coordination in response to the significant Change Healthcare cyberattack earlier this year, which financially impacted 94% of surveyed hospitals. Understanding the inevitability of breaches, the zero-trust security approach is becoming essential for healthcare organizations. At the recent HIMSS24 conference, leaders like Mark Johnson emphasized the necessity of ongoing cybersecurity evolution. CDW research indicates that demonstrating the financial impact of breaches effectively secures cybersecurity investments. Challenges persist, including integrating legacy tools and addressing cultural resistance, but healthcare organizations are progressively enhancing their cyber resilience.
