The cybersecurity arm of HHS issued a brief outlining tips and tactics for strengthening cyber posture in the healthcare sector.
The HHS Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3) issued a brief with tips for strengthening cyber posture in healthcare.
HC3 defined cyber posture as “the overall strength of an organization’s cybersecurity, protocols for predicting and preventing cyber threats, and the ability to act as well as respond during and after an attack.”
Having technical, physical, and administrative safeguards in place to shield protected health information (PHI) is required by HIPAA. Even so, a strong cyber posture is more than just checking a box for compliance purposes.
