Last year, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) stopped producing a monthly Cybersecurity Newsletter, moving instead to a quarterly review. Now: At the end of September, the agency finally released an installment, “Managing Malicious Insider Threats.” The “Summer 2019” edition looks at employees and how they knowingly or unknowingly open up healthcare organizations to data breaches. The OCR offers ideas on how to combat incidents with tips on “the where, who, what, and how of safeguarding critical data.” Find the Summer 2019 edition of the OCR’s Cybersecurity Newsletter at www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/guidance/cybersecurity-newsletter-summer-2019/index.html.
