The recent cyberattack on Northern Light Health put a spotlight on an issue we can’t ignore.
That’s why Angus recently introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen cybersecurity for health care providers nationwide — and their patients. As the co-chair of the National Cyberspace Solarium Commission, Angus is an acknowledged leader in protecting our country against cyber attacks in both the public and private sectors.
Angus’ bill, the Strengthening Cybersecurity in Health Care Act, would require the Department of Health and Human Services to consistently test its cybersecurity efforts, keep Congress updated of what they’re finding, and inform the public of their work moving forward.
In 2023 alone, over 130 million people across the United States had their private medical data breached — exposing medical records, Medicare data, social security numbers, and more.
This is a life and death threat, and it’s time to make sure health care institutions are protecting their infrastructure and patients’ data.
