Summary
The Biden administration's recent initiative involving Google and Microsoft aims to address the growing cybersecurity crisis in U.S. health care by offering training and software discounts to rural hospitals. However, experts argue that these efforts fall short of adequately protecting Americans' health data and preventing ransomware attacks. While the additional investment in cybersecurity is welcomed, critics believe the initiative prioritizes big tech interests over specialized cybersecurity firms better suited to address the specific vulnerabilities in health care systems.
