Last week, Foulston attorneys, Brooke Bennett Aziere and Amanda Wilwert attended the Safeguarding Health Information: Building Assurance through HIPAA Security Conference hosted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) in Washington D.C. Brooke noted: “This conference brought all the stakeholders together. These are the same people drafting the regulations and bringing enforcement actions against covered entities like our clients. It is important to hear about their priorities, initiatives, and best practices. ”This is the first time the conference has been hosted since 2019. Amanda noted: “In an era where a security incident isn’t a matter of ‘if’ it is a matter of ‘when’, covered entities need to make HIPAA Security Rule compliance a priority and incorporate practical cybersecurity solutions into their daily business priorities.”

Is your security program strong enough? In security, the ultimate goal is clear: prevent bad things from happening while fostering, supporting, and facilitating the realization of business activities as usual. Yet, when security incidents or breaches occur, the stakes elevate dramatically. Organizations often find themselves in need of legal support and law enforcement assistance for compensation and justice. But here's the crucial question: can you confidently assert that your security measures are legally defensible? To garner support from the legal system, you must demonstrate that a crime was committed and that the suspect perpetrated that crime. In other words, you must prove that reasonable measures were taken to prevent an incident, and your organization's security posture must endure legal scrutiny. Consider the implications: if your log files cannot stand up in court as accurate and irrefutable evidence or fail to prove convincingly that the perpetrator was the culprit, your chances of obtaining justice diminish significantly. It's time to ensure your security strategy is robust and legally defensible. Don't wait for an incident to occur before addressing this critical aspect. Today's proactive measures (least privilege, MFA, login & monitoring, etc.) can save you from legal headaches tomorrow. Strengthen your defenses, bolster your evidence, and safeguard your organization's integrity.

The guide also highlights data-related risks that “have the potential to harm the national security and economic interests of the United States.” Those risks make it “imperative that practitioners understand their roles and responsibilities and are held accountable for managing information security risk. | A lot of great information for #zerotrust practitioners and those tracking cybersecurity efforts.
A week before a deadline for federal agencies to submit to the White House their updated zero-trust implementation plans, a coalition of government IT leaders released a guide intended to strengthen data security practices. The 42-page Federal Zero Trust Data Security Guide, spearheaded by the Federal Chief Data Officers and Federal Chief Information Security Officers councils, zeroes in on “securing the data itself, rather than the perimeter protecting it,” part of what a Thursday press release termed “a foundational pillar of effective” zero-trust implementation. https://lnkd.in/eZXq9JjB

Very good day with FHA and John Riggi. FHA hosted a Cybersecurity and Risk Workshop yesterday in Orlando. Talk about a timely topic. I enjoyed hearing from other Healthcare IT leaders and insights from John and the panel members was invaluable. No matter how mature your program is or how much effort you've put in, there's still work to be done. Healthcare is a target and we need to align and partner across the industry. I learned a lot from my peers yesterday and I appreciate Florida Hospital Association putting this event together. We need more dialogue and cooperation. A few key points from yesterday: 1. Healthcare shouldn't compete on Cybersecurity. 2. You can't patch humans. 3. Partner with local and federal law enforcement & Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency early and often.

TX Public Mental Health Authority: Nearly?4 million records?at risk. But beyond the devastating impact on patients, there's a massive financial cost that can't be ignored. Direct Costs: Fines, remediation, forensics, legal fees. Lost Productivity: Downtime disrupts care delivery and revenue. Brand Damage: Loss of trust = loss of patients & partners.
