Cascadia Coastal Coalition is working closely with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to engage several rural coastal Oregon hospitals in a facilitated tabletop exercise to be held this winter.
Special thanks to the Oregon CISA Director, South Coos Hospital, Curry General Hospital,Lower Umpqua Hospital and Columbia Memorial Hospital! The risk of cybercrime and its impacts are very real. U.S. Healthcare facilities have had an 86% increase in cyberattacks just in the past year. Rural areas are not immune and in fact are increasingly targeted. Steps in prevention, mitigation, planning, incident notification, response and operational continuity for safe and effective patient care are all critical to learn and share.
