AHA releases cybersecurity resource for health care governing boards
The AHA has released a guide to help health care governing boards work with their organization’s leadership team to set cybersecurity priorities and reduce cyber risks.
“One of the most important things governing boards of health care organizations can do is ask the right questions of their leadership team,” the resource notes. “This document outlines questions about cybersecurity that boards should begin asking their organization’s leadership team to engage in the necessary conversations and bring focused attention to potential cyber-risks.”
AHA members can download the guide for free at the AHA Store, where others may also purchase it.
