Balancing Cybersecurity and Privacy: Why the Healthcare Industry Needs Stronger Laws to Protect Patient Privacy

I think FISA does have a vital role to play. They can also even ultimately advocate for stronger laws, maybe help enforce more rigorous security measures. You have to be careful when it comes to public private partnerships like this, because I do want to advocate for a more robust cybersecurity framework. But we have to keep in mind that we're dealing with health care because we're dealing with very private data. It's a crucial point that we find a good balance between effective cybersecurity measures and protecting everybody. But keep in mind that we are still dealing with very, very individual privacy pieces here too. Patient data. We have to be careful that we don't get into a situation where there's government overreach, especially when you start involving the government in your cybersecurity. You should be concerned with that data. It is very highly sensitive. And if the government gets access to this data, does that not lead to a violation of the privacy? So to mitigate this, we need to make sure that existing laws that are already in place, such as HIPAA, are followed correctly. If not, we're risking that we basically might be exposing patient health information. And that is that would be a big issue if it gets to that. So we have to make sure that even though we should include folks like Sysa, that we don't get to a point where they get access to everything. So there's definitely a need for transparency when it comes to involving an organization like Saisa. And, we make sure that it's very clear on what data they're accessing and how that is protected and who's accessing it. That all needs to be controlled. And we have to make sure that there's clear checks and balances ultimately. So how could we do that? Well, the first mitigation point, any cybersecurity piece is how do you prevent an attack? And what we could do from a health care sense is we can ultimately give them access to data, but we can always anonymize it. That way we can go through anonymize data, but also look at workflows. Where are the risks and the pain points when it comes to cyber security?
