Cybersecurity in Hospitals: Protecting the Future of Healthcare

Cybersecurity in hospitals has become a key priority with the increasing digitisation of healthcare services, including electronic health records, telemedicine and AI-based diagnostics. The European Union has launched the European Action Plan for Cybersecurity of Hospitals and Healthcare Providers, focusing on preventing cyber attacks, detecting threats, and improving response and recovery to minimise the impact of incidents such as ransomware. This plan includes measures such as the creation of a European Cybersecurity Support Centre, annual cyber maturity assessments, and training for healthcare professionals, ensuring a secure and innovative future for healthcare across the EU.
