New York Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed new cybersecurity regulations, requiring hospitals to create new policies to protect against cyber threats. The governor’s budget includes $500 million to facilitate technology upgrades in line with the new rules. If enforced, hospitals will have one year to comply, which some experts claim may be a time-consuming and costly process. It is believed the rules could serve as a template for similar regulations in other states.
