The US Department of Homeland Security has named a 15-member review board to assess significant cybersecurity events and recommend improvements - starting with the Log4J vulnerability.
As all industries continue to struggle with Log4j remediation, HHS HC3 is urging the healthcare sector to assume systems have been compromised and to review new vulnerability guidance.
Participants in a White House meeting on securing open-source software expressed optimism for working effectively with government to help prevent Log4j-like events.
Across all sectors and the federal government, finding and rooting out Log4j vulnerability instances has proved a considerable challenge. But with patient safety at stake, and where legacy devices and applications abound, the healthcare sector is struggling.
