To deal with the growing number of hospitals and patients impacted by cybersecurity attacks, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced voluntary cyber performance goals. HHS is also evaluating how to tie reimbursement to achieving specific cybersecurity capabilities.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">&#8220;Patient safety is the top priority for hospitals. One aspect of patient safety involves taking actions to protect against cybersecurity threats,&#8221; says&nbsp;Debra Bruemmer, senior director of clinical security, MedSec. &#8220;Many hospitals lack a meaningful cybersecurity program to protect patients from malicious cybersecurity events. This is primarily due to a lack of qualified people and funding to create and run the program.&nbsp;Our program can help solve that problem.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">Core elements of the Hospital Roadmap to Resilience ProgramSM:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-component=\"basic-list\" class=\"BasicList BasicList_nestedLevel_0 BasicList_variant_unordered BasicList_limited\">\n<ul data-testid=\"basic-list-unordered\" class=\"BasicList-UnorderedList\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"BasicList-ListItem BasicList-ListItem_variant_unordered\" readability=\"7.5\"><span data-component=\"icon\" data-name=\"Circle\" class=\"BasicList-ListIcon BasicList-ListIcon_variant_unordered\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"BasicList-Item\" readability=\"10\">\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">Leverage established best practices to build a foundational cybersecurity program based on policy, process, and procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"BasicList-ListItem BasicList-ListItem_variant_unordered\" readability=\"6\"><span data-component=\"icon\" data-name=\"Circle\" class=\"BasicList-ListIcon BasicList-ListIcon_variant_unordered\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"BasicList-Item\" readability=\"7\">\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">Assess existing tools for unused functionality that can be leveraged for security purposes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"BasicList-ListItem BasicList-ListItem_variant_unordered\" readability=\"6.5\"><span data-component=\"icon\" data-name=\"Circle\" class=\"BasicList-ListIcon BasicList-ListIcon_variant_unordered\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"BasicList-Item\" readability=\"8\">\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">Invest in an appropriate, new tool.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\"><span class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_italic\">&#8220;<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">The Hospital Roadmap to Resilience ProgramSM positions hospitals to make informed risk decisions, know assets and recovery needs, and manage basic network risks,&#8221; said Michelle Jump, MedSec CEO. &#8220;Ultimately helping hospitals create a practical and effective security program they can maintain even without senior security staff.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">Bruemmer noted, &#8220;Hospitals want to do the right thing and address cybersecurity, but many simply can&#8217;t. MedSec is approaching the problem differently. The Hospital Roadmap to Resilience ProgramSM provides an actionable set of foundational policies, processes, and procedures aligned to meet industry best practices. The program gives resource-constrained hospitals a roadmap to accelerate their journey toward being more cyber secure and protecting their patients.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\"><span class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_bold\">About MedSec, LLC<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">Most cybersecurity companies work in a variety of industries.
