A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has reintroduced a bill designed to strengthen the nation’s healthcare cybersecurity.
The Health Care Cybersecurity and Resilience Act of 2025 would provide cyberattack prevention grants and training to healthcare organizations and require cybersecurity standards like multifactor authentication and penetration testing.
“Cyberattacks on our healthcare sector not only put patients’ sensitive health data at risk but can delay life-saving care,” said bill cosponsor Bill Cassidy, MD, R.-La., in a Dec. 4 news release. “This bipartisan legislation ensures health institutions can safeguard Americans’ health data against increasing cyber threats.”
