📰 Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released their voluntary healthcare cybersecurity performance goals (CPGs). Broken into 10 “Essential Goals” and 10 “Enhanced Goals,” the CPGs are mapped to the Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) from 405(d), as well as NIST CSF. Recently, Greg Garcia from the HSCC and Kate from Fortified discussed the pending regulatory changes and how to make sure your organization is prepared. You can listen to that discussion here: https://hubs.ly/Q02gXq6Y0 You can view the CPGs here: https://lnkd.in/gRDmpZ94 #cyberleadership #healthcarecybersecurity #cybergovernance

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let’s consider how information security can be more inclusive. Are authentication processes accessible to assistive technologies? Do training materials and policies support diverse needs? Accessibility and security go hand in hand, ensuring everyone can safely navigate the digital world. Inclusive policies aren’t optional—they’re essential for equity in a connected future. This year’s theme, “Transformative solutions for inclusive development,” reminds us to build systems that empower all. #IDPD #AccessibilityMatters #InclusiveSecurity #DigitalInclusion #CyberSecurity

🚨 Australian Disability Services Website Targeted by Hacktivists 🌐 👇 Key details of the incident 👇 🔍 OneStep Disability Services, based in Western Australia, had its website defaced by the pro-Palestinian hacktivist group DXPLOIT, displaying messages about peace and justice. 💾 The group emphasized that “Islam is the religion of peace” and claimed to stand against global oppression, while asserting their actions were not for fame but to convey a message. 🔒 OneStep confirmed no personal or participant data was stored on the website, ensuring that no sensitive information was compromised. 🛡️ The organization swiftly restored its website and highlighted the importance of investing in premium security measures to counter growing cyber threats. 📊 DXPLOIT’s activity is part of an increasing trend, with alliances formed alongside other hacktivist groups like RipperSec and NoName057(16) to launch coordinated attacks under banners like OpsAustralia. Is this a wake-up call for better cybersecurity measures? Cyber Daily

HHS has just released new cybersecurity performance goals to help healthcare organizations strengthen their cyber defenses. These goals are designed to help organizations mature their cybersecurity capabilities and protect against additional attack vectors. The CPGs map NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, and HPH goals to facilitate implementation. Check out the cybersecurity-performance-goals.pdf on the HHS website for more information or contact RSLG for a detailed evaluation of your organization's cyber maturity. #cyber #cybermaturity #HPH #cybergoals #rockspringlaw

Balancing Security & Accessibility: Is Your Organization Doing It Right? In today's digital landscape, security is non-negotiable, but is it coming at the cost of accessibility?

AI is a hot topic these days, but for low-income families, communities of color, veterans, people with disabilities, and immigrants, cyberattacks are a more significant concern. These attacks exacerbate existing inequalities and have severe and long-term impacts on vulnerable communities, reinforcing systemic barriers of racism and classism. The US lacks an assertive response to deter cyberattacks and secure digital access and safety for marginalized groups. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/42IjyOf #AndraCapital #MarginalizedCommunities #CybersecurityInequality #DigitalDivide #CyberSafety #InclusiveCybersecurity #TechEquity #CybersecurityJustice #SecureDigitalAccess #BridgingTheGap #DigitalInclusion #CybersecurityAwareness #EquitableTech

Did you know today marks the 13th Global Accessibility Awareness Day? The purpose of this day is to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access, inclusion and folks with different disabilities. Disabled folks need you to truly start talking, thinking, learning and apply digital access and inclusion to everything you do. I'd love for companies to understand how their websites, applications, and products affect the world. Do you know what percentage of the population is affected by inaccessibility? Would you believe me if it doesn't just affect disabled folks, like myself? If you created products and services that included everyone, innovation and finances due to reaching out to everyone could make a greater impact. Not just on this specific day known as GAAD. Disruption of the culture of technology and digital product needs to happen in order to include accessibility as a core requirement. What are you doing to include digital accessibility and inclusion into your company, department, product, and future? #GAAD #AccessibilityAwareness #DigitalAccessibility #WebAccessibility #DisruptionOfTechnology #Technology #Cybersecurity #AccessibilityInTech #AccessibilityInCyber #DisabledFolks #Disabilities #Inaccessibility

It's "International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia". The 20th anniversary of a day to raise awareness on the hate and fear, the oppression and discrimination that so many folks experience every day. In 2024, in a lot of parts of the world, even in those spaces you might believe to be safe - are they though? Whether you know about this part of their identity or not, there are so many people who always existed and who always will exist, so many who have every human right to be who they are - while having their rights so often violated. We need to keep fighting for a better today and a better future. https://lnkd.in/ewHBw9Ke #IDAHOBIT #IDAHOBIT2024 #inclusion #osco #osco24 #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #AppSec [lisi]
