Cybersecurity for healthcare: human and legal perspectives

The webinar will zoom in on key findings from PANACEA on the key role people in healthcare play in increasing resilience to cyber-attacks while cyberwatching.eu will share essential information on legal aspects all healthcare organisations need to know to protect patients' and staff personal information from the risk of theft.

Purpose and Scope: The digital era is creating many opportunities for sectors like healthcare to improve service efficiency. But, at the same time, it introduces new challenges, including greater cyber risks. Cyber-incidents and cyber-attacks not only cause the loss of billions of Euros every year but also cause service disruptions and put patient well-being at risk. All too often, these incidents occur due to human error. Cyber security is all about how individuals and organisations reduce the risk of cyber-attacks. This webinar gives key insights into good practices for medical, IT and other professionals working in healthcare organisations. It zooms in on key findings from PANACEA on the key role people in healthcare play in increasing resilience to cyber-attacks, explaining why everyone in the sector needs to be aware of the many risks. With the support of cyberwatching.eu this webinar will share essential information on legal aspects all healthcare organisations need to know to protect patients' and staff personal information from the risk of theft. Who should attend: This webinar is for anyone working in healthcare using connected devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets, computers and online services we access. Participants will learn why it's so important to prevent unauthorised access to the vast amounts of personal information stored on these devices, making compliance with EU legislation on data protection a top priority.
