national health isac (nh-isac)

The security threat landscape continues to expand globally at an incredible pace representing an environment vulnerable to sector and cross-sector potential cascading impacts. As the nation's healthcare and public health critical infrastructure continues to broaden the integration of technology to support healthcare innovation and service delivery, organizations continue to face unprecedented cybersecurity challenges. Securing the resilience of the nation's health sector, comprised of a vast network of interconnecting infrastructures, depends upon the stakeholders ability and capability to work together. The National Health ISAC (NH-ISAC), is the nationally recognized Information Sharing & Analysis Center (ISAC) for the nation's healthcare and public health critical infrastructure by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the HHS Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) representing the nation's healthcare private sector, and the National Council of ISACs (representing all national critical infrastructures). As the health sector's primary communications channel for cybersecurity intelligence, information sharing, and incident response, NH-ISAC's mission is to enable and preserve the public trust by advancing health sector cybersecurity protection and the ability to prepare for and respond to threats and vulnerabilities. NH-ISAC, a non-profit, membership-sustained organization, is entrusted with the provision of security situational awareness intelligence, CTI sharing and coordinated response for a nationwide healthcare and public health trusted community. The delivery of timely, relevant and actionable cyber and physical (all-hazards) intelligence from trusted public and private sources, are distributed via the NH-ISAC at the Space Life Sciences Laboratory at NASA/Kennedy Space Center.
