A late-night call, a system failure, and a virus that brings everything to a halt. This is the reality of cybersecurity threats in hospitals. With healthcare systems increasingly reliant on technology, cyberattacks can disrupt critical operations, endangering patients and costing millions. In 2023 alone, 309 cybersecurity incidents were reported, with over half involving ransomware.
To counter this growing risk, the EU has launched an action plan focused on prevention, detection, rapid response, and deterrence. A new European Cybersecurity Support Center, led by ENISA, will provide hospitals with the tools they need to stay protected.
