What Role Does CISA Play in Protecting Health Data?

CISA collaborates with healthcare organizations to enhance their cybersecurity posture. This includes providing guidelines, resources, and training to help these organizations defend against cyber threats. CISA also works with other federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to develop sector-specific strategies and incident response plans. By doing so, CISA helps protect the integrity and confidentiality of health data, which is essential for accurate epidemiological research.
