This week, Health-ISAC®‘s Hacking Healthcare® examines an update to the UK government’s anti-ransomware effort. Join us as we review the recently published summary of public responses to January’s open consultation on three anti-ransomware legislative proposals to assess how the proposals have been received, what the government is likely to do next, and how it could impact the health sector in the UK and abroad.
This week, Health-ISAC®‘s Hacking Healthcare® examines rural healthcare cybersecurity priorities of the U.S. legislative branch. Join us as we identify the Congressional members who are leading cybersecurity efforts, current legislation that could have an effect on health sector cybersecurity, cybersecurity areas that may see legislative attention in the near future, and how the ongoing appropriations process for fiscal year 2026 (FY26) could affect relevant U.S. government departments and agencies.
This week, Health-ISAC®‘s Hacking Healthcare® examines research suggesting that a well-known artificial intelligence (AI) transcription model that is being used as the underlying tool in healthcare products may be worryingly prone to “hallucinating” words or even entire sentences. This week, we assess what the research has found and provide some general considerations for healthcare organizations eager to take advantage of AI capabilities.
This edition of Hacking Healthcare® evaluates a new and significant international cybercrime initiative making progress at the United Nations (U.N.). We explore where this initiative came from, who supports it, and why it may not be as beneficial for cracking down on cybercrime as its name might suggest. Next, we briefly outline what might be expected from a reorganization within the United States’ Department of Health and Human Services.
This edition of Hacking Healthcare® what kinds of healthcare cybersecurity policies and initiatives we may see come out of the European Commission now that the elections have concluded, and the new political term is underway.
This edition of Hacking Healthcare® examines the results of the recent elections in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (U.K.) to assess how they may influence cybersecurity and technology policies that affect the healthcare sector.
In reversing a prior decision the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) made decades ago, the current SCOTUS has primed the United States (U.S.) federal regulatory landscape for widespread legal challenges. This edition of Hacking Healthcare®[i] explores what Health-ISAC members should know about how the SCOTUS decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo could significantly alter the cybersecurity and privacy regulatory landscape in the U.S.
This week, Hacking Healthcare™ examines the French Cybersecurity Agency’s (ANSSI) 2023 Cyber Threat Overview to gain a European perspective on how the cyber threat landscape is evolving.[i] In particular, we will look at the developments and trends that may have significant impacts on the healthcare sector throughout the rest of 2024.

We breakdown what has been reported so far, examine the long list of cascading effects, and then outline how incidents like this come at a time when the political landscape could shift dramatically and lead to new policy approaches.
This week, Hacking Healthcare™ examines a new report from the Cyberspace Solarium Commission 2.0 that assesses the state of healthcare cybersecurity in the U.S. and provides recommendations for public and private sector alike. We briefly detail the contents of the report before digging into some of the notable takeaways in the action and analysis section.
This week, Hacking Healthcare™ stays on the topic of U.K. ransomware. Join us as we examine recent reports of an upcoming consultation that might radically shift how the U.K. government allows entities to respond to ransomware incidents. We provide a brief overview of what has been reported, and then we provide some useful background information and context around how some of the alleged proposals might work.
