On January 15, 2025, the EU Commission unveiled an Action Plan focused on enhancing cybersecurity within EU hospitals and healthcare institutions. This initiative responds to rising cyber threats exacerbated by the healthcare sector's digitisation and prominent attacks on providers. The Plan aims to fortify existing cybersecurity frameworks, including the NIS Directive 2 and the Cyber Resilience Act. Key priorities include prevention, threat detection, response strategies, and deterrence against cyber threats. Additionally, it proposes establishing a dedicated European Cybersecurity Support Centre and piloting best practices for improved cyber hygiene and risk assessment across the sector.
The EU Commission's Action Plan aims to bolster cybersecurity in healthcare, highlighting the urgent need for improved measures in response to increasing threats.
