Biden administration proposes new cybersecurity rules to limit impact of healthcare data leaks

The U.S. has proposed cybersecurity rules to limit the impact of health data leaks. The proposed rules aim to enhance the protection of health data.

Anne Neuberger, the U.S. deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology, said the proposed requirements are needed after a massive number of Americans had data affected by large breaches of healthcare information.

Healthcare organizations will be required to implement new security measures.

Violations of these cybersecurity rules may result in significant penalties.
