Bill > S4697

This bill, the Healthcare Cybersecurity Act of 2024, aims to enhance the cybersecurity of the Healthcare and Public Health Sector. It requires the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to coordinate with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to improve cybersecurity in the sector, including by appointing a CISA liaison to HHS, making resources available to information sharing organizations, and providing training to healthcare owners and operators on cybersecurity risks and mitigation. The bill also requires HHS, in coordination with CISA, to update the Healthcare and Public Health Sector-specific Risk Management Plan and establish criteria for identifying high-risk healthcare assets to prioritize resource allocation. The bill also mandates reports on CISA's assistance to the healthcare sector and a Government Accountability Office report on federal resources for healthcare critical infrastructure.
