Cybersecurity in Healthcare: Ignore “Voluntary” Guidelines at Your Peril!

Facing the cyber storm, hospitals get a wake-up call: meet Uncle Sam’s “voluntary” cybersecurity goals or risk losing federal funds. It’s comedic how ‘voluntary’ suggests a choice—until it doesn’t. Buckle up, healthcare, it’s regulation prelude time! #CybersecurityPerformanceGoals

Hot Take:

Listen up, healthcare infosec warriors! Uncle Sam's "voluntary" cybersecurity performance goals (CPGs) for hospitals are about as optional as wearing pants to a job interview. Ignore them at your own peril, because today's "suggestions" might just turn into tomorrow's "you gotta do it or else!" So, buckle up and update that anti-virus, or get ready to explain to your patients why your computers are on life support!
