Cyper resilient healthcare

The healthcare sector remains highly vulnerable to cyber threats due to outdated systems, fragmented practices and human error. Attacks can disrupt clinical operations, compromise sensitive data and endanger patient care. In response, the EU has strengthened cybersecurity policy through measures such as NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act and the European action plan for cybersecurity of hospitals and healthcare providers.

The event Cyber Resilient Healthcare brings together national and EU-level policymakers, healthcare leaders, CISOs, and cybersecurity and policy experts to assess the current state of EU cybersecurity policy implementation and explore how to strengthen resilience and preparedness across the healthcare sector.

The event is organised in collaboration with the Nordic Cyber Healthcare Forum by DNV.
