eHealth Security Conference 2020 - Session 1: Cybersecurity in Healthcare in times of a pandemic

ENISA is organising a series of virtual eHealth Security conferences in cooperation with the Danish Health Data Authority on cybersecurity topics touching the Healthcare sector.

The aim of the events is to invite professionals from the healthcare sector and experts in cybersecurity to share their experiences and challenges through open discussion sessions. Each monthly session will focus on individual topics.

Session 1: Cybersecurity in Healthcare in times of a pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a new reality for the healthcare sector globally, testing its limits. Adding to the overwhelming situation it is currently facing, the sector has become a direct target or collateral victim of cybersecurity attacks.

Malicious actors taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic have already launched a series of phishing campaigns and ransomware attacks. Hospitals have shifted their focus and resources to their primary role, managing this extraordinary emergency, which has placed them in a vulnerable situation. The whole cybersecurity community is working together to support the healthcare sector as the pandemic develops.
