The new healthcare intel-sharing portal is basically a centralized vehicle for information dissemination. It includes information from outside sources, such as US-CERT, HITRUST’s Nutkis says. The center will not only alert participating healthcare organizations of threats and attacks, but also help with coordinating response and best practices. WellPoint is using the intel it gathers from other healthcare providers to update its sensors and other defenses to deflect the latest attacks, WellPoint’s Mellinger says. “If I have a colleague with a similar problem and we cooperate [offline], it can benefit both of us,” he says.”]
