Public Health Sector

A comprehensive cybersecurity readiness survey is launched to determine the preparedness of state, local, tribal, and territorial public health agencies against cyber threats. The findings will guide grant funding and influence crucial policy decisions within the public health subsector. As these agencies manage sensitive health data and critical healthcare operations, any successful cyber attack could jeopardize not only personal patient information but also the delivery of essential health services, potentially resulting in widespread distrust, financial loss, or life-threatening disruptions.
