Health Sector Publishes Executive Checklist For Cyber Incident Response Washington, DC – October 30, 2024 - Recognizing October as the 21st National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council (HSCC) Joint Cybersecurity Working Group today published a checklist to assist senior executives of healthcare entities to support and guide effective incident response and operational continuity following a cyber incident.? The publication is available free for download here - https://bit.ly/4fmj3yE. The epidemic of cyber threats and incidents on the health sector highlights the need for healthcare executives not only to recognize the potential business consequences of cyberattacks but to understand and manage the executive role in directing and supporting incident response and continuity of operations.?Consequences across a victim organization invariably involve executives responsible for legal, regulatory, operational, reputational, financial and clinical risk, and ultimately, patient safety. This checklist aims to raise awareness about critical considerations for informed and swift executive decision-making during and after a cybersecurity incident. These considerations are categorized into Incident Response, Business Continuity, and Communication sections. By familiarizing themselves with these strategic concerns in advance, healthcare executives can enhance their preparedness to ask the right questions and make effective decisions during a crisis.
