HIPAA Security Rule updates: A proposed 15day patch mandate for critical vulnerabilities

Healthcare is facing a new urgency curve. Proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule for 2025 include a definitive patching clock: Remediate critical vulnerabilities within 15 calendar days of identifying the need—if a patch is available—or within 15 days of a patch becoming available.
