US government wants to toughen up cybersecurity rules for healthcare organizations

US healthcare firms may have to adhere to new cybersecurity requirements proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services. The rules include routine vulnerability and breach scans, data encryption, multi-factor authentication and anti-malware protection for sensitive data systems. The new measures are expected to cost $9bn in the first year and $6bn in subsequent years, but are considered necessary due to a 102% increase in large scale security breaches since 2019.
