This action aims to strengthen the cybersecurity of hospitals and healthcare providers. The goal is to ensure that hospitals and healthcare providers, which are crucial operators in the health sector, can effectively detect, monitor, and respond to cyber threats, particularly ransomware, which pose significant risks, thereby enhancing the resilience of the European healthcare system.
Deadline : 7 October
Expected Outcome: Mapping of common cybersecurity needs of hospitals and healthcare providers. Guidelines for healthcare providers to assess their current state of cybersecurity protection and relevant needs. Technical cybersecurity plans to enhance preparedness and cyber resilience: improved detection and response capabilities for healthcare institutions minimising the impact of cyberattacks, particularly for ransomware. This also includes dedicated training courses to staff. Pilot cybersecurity demo installations at partner hospitals and healthcare provider sites to ensure hospitals and healthcare providers can maintain operational continuity in the face of cybersecurity incidents. This should be monitored through specific KPIs. Wide dissemination campaigns to help scale up preparedness of hospitals and healthcare providers in Europe.
