Bipartisan health care cybersecurity legislation returns to address a cornucopia of issues

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is reviving the Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act to bolster healthcare defenses by clarifying HHS/CISA coordination, directing HHS to develop an incident response plan, updating HIPAA-related cybersecurity guidance, providing training via CISA state coordinators, issuing guidance for rural clinics, and authorizing a five-year HHS grant program—motivated in part by major incidents like the Change Healthcare ransomware breach.
