New York’s Cybersecurity Rodeo: Hospital Upgrade or Wild West Showdown?
New York’s stepping up to the cyber plate with its ‘nation-leading’ Hospital Cybersecurity Regulations. The plan? Hospitals will get a tech facelift, a Chief Information Security Officer, and a whopping bill. But fear not, a $500 million fund is on standby. It’s more of a ‘rob Peter to pay Paul’ than a ‘rob you blind’ deal.
Hot Take:
Well, well, well. Looks like New York is finally upping its game to combat the cyber baddies targeting hospitals. Gotta love the "nation-leading" cybersecurity regulations. (Side note: is there a nation-trailing one we should know about?) Anyway, it’s about time hospitals got their own rules for the cyber rodeo, complete with shiny new IT systems and a designated cyber sheriff in the form of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The bad news? Hospitals have to foot the bill for the upgrade. The good news? There’s millions of dollars in funding available. So, it's less of a "rob you blind” and more of a "rob Peter to pay Paul" situation.
