Insight No. 1: HIPAA amendments: More bureaucratic BS?
Most media reports are hyping proposed HIPAA amendments, claiming they’ll magically close security gaps. Yeah, right. Like forcing already overwhelmed healthcare providers to jump through more hoops with multifactor authentication (MFA) and encryption is going to stop determined attackers. This smells like security theater, designed to give the illusion of action while shifting blame to providers when the inevitable breaches happen. Time to call out this regulatory smokescreen and demand real solutions — say, no-fault liability for software security liabilities a la the new 2024 EU Product Liability Directive (PLD) — not just more paperwork.
