“Healthcare providers, health plans, and connected entities across the U.S. would be subjected to
minimum cybersecurity standards under the new Health Infrastructure Security and
Accountability Act introduced by Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and
Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner, D-Va., reports CyberScoop.
Such a bill, which comes months after the widespread breach of Change Healthcare stemming
from the
absence of multi-factor authentication, would not only mandate data security audits from the
Department of Health and Human Services but also impose jail times for healthcare executives
making false cybersecurity claims.”
