H-ISAC TLP White Hacking Healthcare - June 30, 2021

This week, Hacking Healthcare begins by breaking down how a new technology council created by US and EU representatives may ease the risk of divergent technology standards and help to ameliorate current disagreements over data privacy and security. Next, we examine a report that breaks down the growing threat of USB-related malware in industrial environments and explain why the threat may not be going away even as organizations return to pre-pandemic operations. Finally, we assess how the private sector’s struggle with patching is increasingly leading to calls for new laws that mandate it and why that would be a troublesome solution.

In this edition:

• EU and US look to Technology Standards Coordination
• New Threat Report Highlights USB-Malware Risk
• NSA Official Suggests Laws May be Needed to Force Organizations to Patch
