A group of U.S. Senators has put forward a new bill called the Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act of 2024. The goal of this bill is to make healthcare organizations safer from cyberattacks. It suggests providing funding to help improve the ways these organizations can prevent and respond to cyber threats, especially in underserved areas like rural health providers. The bill also aims to improve cooperation between important federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Moreover, it proposes updating privacy regulations to ensure they align with modern cybersecurity practices, helping healthcare organizations meet necessary security standards. This comes in response to growing worries about cyberattacks in the healthcare sector, which have affected millions of people and disrupted healthcare services. The Senators hope this legislation will reduce risks and protect both patient information and the delivery of care.
