In healthcare, safeguarding patient information isn't just best practice—it's mandated by HIPAA. Understanding the violation penalties is crucial for maintaining the privacy and security of health information. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties, structured into four tiers: ➞ Tier 1 - Unaware of the HIPAA violation and by exercising reasonable due diligence would not have known HIPAA ➞  Tier 2 - Reasonable cause that the covered entity knew about or should have known about the violation by exercising reasonable due diligence ➞ Tier 3 - Willful neglect of HIPAA Rules with the violation corrected within 30 days of discovery ➞ Tier 4 - Willful neglect of HIPAA Rules and no effort made to correct the violation within 30 days of discovery Penalties for HIPAA violations vary by the severity and nature of the breach. It's crucial for entities covered by HIPAA to continually assess and update their compliance programs. For a comprehensive breakdown of the fines, visit the HIPAA Journal.

Businesses have it tough these days – the first challenge is to rapidly analyze cyber risk data from sources as varied from cloud computing and BYOD policies to smart devices and external intelligence feeds. This data must then be available in the form of comprehensive insights for swift cyber risk quantification (CRQ) and decision-making. Older cyber risk assessment and management methodologies face two bottlenecks when it comes to dealing with such mandates – static assessment frameworks and historical data dependencies. As a result, these approaches fail to scale with the rise in number of Internet-facing attack surfaces. This is where revolutionary possibilities brought in by AI and machine learning (ML) change the way businesses assess and manage cyber asset-related risks. So, what does this entail? Head over to our latest blog post to discover how AI and ML upend the way organizations approach cyber risk quantification.
