Every year, a substantial part of the healthcare institutions are suffering cyber-attacks. In a more insecure world cyber security is of utmost importance to protect public health insurance systems and mutuals.

In her guidelines for the upcoming mandate of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen has promised a Cyber Security Act.

The Webinar looked at existing legislation and good practice examples from other sectors. During a panel discussion EHFCN and AIM members discussed how they are prepared for the worst and how an European framework for Cyber Security could help to provide more security for the sensitive data that they are managing.
