The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has released a new report on the current status and recommended strategies for healthcare cybersecurity.
The report compiles the information around the Cyber Europe exercise organised by ENISA earlier in 2022. The agency said its purpose is to identify potential challenges and suggest recommendations.
Participants successfully tested the exercise during cyber crises, as well as incident response and resilience plans at local levels, the authors noted in a press release dated 13 December. The exercise also allowed stakeholders to be trained on technical capabilities. ENISA highlighted that participants benefited from engagement on cooperation aspects.
From analysis, ENISA suggested that allocating commensurate budget and resources to cybersecurity teams within health organisations will ensure cybersecurity resilience in the health sector. They also recommended regular testing at the local level.
