New York recently enacted new cyber security regulations specifically for general hospitals, effective October 2, 2024.
This mandate represents a critical shift in how hospitals must approach cybersecurity, especially given the alarming increase in cyber threats targeting healthcare organizations.
Why this matters
- Immediate Reporting: Any material cybersecurity incident must be reported to the New York Department of Health within 72 hours. This requirement puts pressure on your existing incident response protocols.
- Increased Vulnerability: With healthcare being a prime target for cyberattacks, failing to meet these new standards could jeopardize patient trust and regulatory compliance, exposing your hospital to significant financial and reputational risk.
With compliance for incident reporting in effect now and compliance with all other measures required by October 2, 2025, time is of the essence.
