A bipartisan bill proposes to elevate the role of CISO within the Department of Health and Human Services. The proposed legislation would establish the Office of the Chief Information Security Officer within HHS independent from the office of the CIO. The new HHS CISO would be appointed by the president. CISO Sara Hall resigned in February after serving in the post for six years, and the department has not yet replaced her. The bill is based on recommendations made in a report following an October 2013 network breach at the Food and Drug Administration.”]
