The nonprofit Center for Internet Security is fully funding the offering of its protection service, known as Malicious Domain Blocking and Reporting, to private U.S. hospitals. Last year, the free service was initially offered to U.S. public hospitals and health departments - as well as other public entities, such as county governments and K-12 public schools - through the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center, which is part of the Center for Internet Security.
