The North Dakota Hospital Association has created a new cybersecurity initiative that provides hospitals with an affordable option for cybersecurity services, Grand Forks Herald reported April 14.
The initiative, Cyber Cover, was made in partnership with the hospital association, cybersecurity company Critical Insight and insurance company Marsh McLennan Agency. It will provide members of the hospital association with a discount on their cyber insurance, if Marsh McLennan Agency is chosen as their provider, and an additional discount if they choose Critical Insight for cybersecurity services.
The initiative was created in response to the increase in cyberattacks and data breaches on healthcare organizations.
