Throughout 2021, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) 405(d) Program executed various strategic engagements and communication campaigns in an effort to continue the mission and vision of the program: “Aligning Healthcare and Security Approaches.” Additionally, the program helped grow the reach of the task group by adding an additional wave and setting up the Task Group Ambassador program. Task Group Members also worked diligently on new 405(d) publications regarding Enterprise Risk Management and Tactical Crisis Response, adding to the 405(d) library of cybersecurity resources for the Healthcare and Public Health sector. Overall, the program continues to build upon the work completed in previous years and has refined its approaches to promote the message that Cyber Safety is Patient Safety.
