Summary
Sen. Ron Wyden criticized the Biden administration's timeline for implementing healthcare cybersecurity regulations, urging for faster action due to the pressing nature of the threat. Highlighting recent ransomware attacks, Wyden emphasized that measures such as multi-factor authentication are basic yet essential steps that have been neglected. He stressed that while the administration is making progress, their goal of having regulations in place by the end of the year is inadequate given the current cybersecurity landscape. Wyden called for immediate action to prevent healthcare systems from remaining vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
