Cybersecurity & Risk Advisory Services
Providers are prime targets for cybercriminals. Are you ready?
The number of large-scale data breaches at American health care organization increased 65% from 2010 to 2016 (Source: OCR 2017). As a result, federal agencies are increasing their oversight and enforcement actions related to cybersecurity. And they are holding providers accountable.
This year John Riggi, AHA’s senior advisor for cybersecurity, former FBI cyber executive and a nationally recognized expert, launched AHA’s initial cybersecurity offerings to advise and assist our members.
Our goal is to help hospitals and health systems develop the defenses they need against this significant threat.
