Healthcare systems are undergoing accelerated digital transformation—making robust cybersecurity more essential than ever. This white paper examines why medical data has become a prime target, how cyberattacks jeopardise patient care, and the regulatory pressures shaping security obligations across Europe and beyond. It also highlights the growing risks linked to medical IoT, operational technologies and thirdparty suppliers, along with the operational, financial and reputational impacts of cyber incidents.
Drawing on Thales’ extensive experience, the paper presents a strategic, endtoend approach to securing healthcare ecosystems, including governance, threat detection, incident response and securebydesign technology integration. It provides healthcare leaders with practical guidance to strengthen resilience, protect patient trust and ensure continuity of care in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
