Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act of 2026
A federal bill setting new cybersecurity requirements for health care organizations, including minimum security practices and stronger breach notifications.
This federal bill sets new cybersecurity rules for health care organizations. It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to make private health care groups use basic security steps like multifactor authentication. It also calls for better coordination between HHS and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, cybersecurity training for health workers, special guidance for rural providers, and clearer breach notices that include how many people were affected.
Health care providers in Houston must follow new federal cybersecurity rules. If your doctor or hospital gets hacked, you may get clearer notice about how many people were affected.
