Last year, @Microsoft launched its Cybersecurity for Rural Hospitals Program, an initiative designed to help protect access to health care for the 46 million people living in rural America. Funded through a philanthropic investment, the program now has more than 550 rural hospitals, nearly one-third of all US rural hospitals, participating to receive free cybersecurity assessments, cybersecurity training, Microsoft security product discounts, and AI solutions designed to promote hospital resiliency. This past week, Microsoft released a new white paper sharing what was learned in the last year, including insights on the current cybersecurity landscape for rural health and the role technology companies can play. Microsoft's goal with this program is to address both the immediate cyber risks facing these critical community resources as well as broader systemic challenges facing rural health.
