Recently, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed stricter regulations to enhance the protection of electronic health records, responding to the increasing cyber threats, such as ransomware, targeting healthcare organizations. These HIPAA updates are intended to address existing vulnerabilities in healthcare systems, especially in light of recent cyberattacks. In an article for CSO entitled “US Takes Aim at Healthcare Cybersecurity with Proposed HIPAA Changes”, John Leyden explains:

“The proposed revamp of security rules covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is designed to address the increased risk from cyberattacks such as ransomware against healthcare environments. The revamped rules aim to enhance cybersecurity measures for electronic protected health information by requiring encryption of sensitive medical data, the rollout of multi-factor authentication as a defense against phishing and increased network security controls, such as network segmentation.”
