The initiative, called\u00a0\u201cCI Fortify,\u201d\u00a0seeks\u00a0to ensure\u00a0that\u00a0organizations\u00a0can\u00a0sustain essential operations following incidents during geopolitical conflicts. CISA said that isolation includes measures such as proactively disconnecting from third-party and business networks to prevent cyber impacts to operational technology, which could allow essential services to continue during emergencies rather than completely shutting down. Recovery measures include documenting systems, backing up critical files, and practicing the replacement of systems or transitioning to manual systems if isolation\u00a0fails\u00a0and components are\u00a0rendered\u00a0inoperable.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cThis initiative provides excellent\u00a0and timely\u00a0guidance for hospitals and health systems to prepare\u00a0them\u00a0to continue delivering essential services in the event of\u00a0a destructive nation-state\u00a0cyberattack or ransomware attack,\u201d\u00a0said John Riggi, AHA national advisor for cybersecurity and risk.\u00a0\u201cCyber resilience is essential to\u00a0maintain\u00a0patient care and safety during any incident which disrupts access to health care technology.\u00a0Coincidentally, this follows the AHA and Joint Commission\u2019s new Cyber Resilience Readiness program, which also helps hospitals and health systems with sustaining clinical continuity during extended cyber-related technology outages.&#8221;\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>For more information on this or other cyber and risk issues, contact Riggi at\u00a0jriggi@aha.org.
