The Cybersecurity for Health conference will address cybersecurity challenges and explore cutting-edge solutions tailored to the healthcare sector.

It is relevant for:

• Healthtech innovators, Technology companies, Hospital IT departments, and healthcare administrators.
• Policy makers, investors, and academic researchers in health technology and cybersecurity.

According to the EU Commission, “In 2023 alone, EU countries reported 309 significant cybersecurity incidents targeting the healthcare sector – more than any other critical sector. As healthcare providers increasingly use digital health records, the risk of data-related threats continues to rise.”

A Cyber Ireland article noted “The last three years have seen some really worrying milestones. The costs of a data breach in the healthcare industry continue to rise. In 2023, the average cost reached $10.93 million. The frequency is also increasing, with one report noting a 60% increase in phishing attacks between 2022 and 2023, with healthcare being the primary target of these attempts.”

The conference is supported by InterTrade Ireland, with collaboration from Cyber Ireland, NI Cyber, and HIRANI.
