Cyber­se­cure Health Tech Forum, Helsin­ki

What are the cyber­se­cu­ri­ty require­ments in health tech and how to ensure com­pli­ance? Join a free edu­ca­tion­al sem­i­nar tar­get­ed at health tech star­tups and growth com­pa­nies to bet­ter under­stand and learn about need­ed coun­ter­mea­sures, brought to you by top experts. The Cyber­se­cure Health Tech Forum will be orga­nized as an offi­cial side event of the Rad­i­cal Health Fes­ti­val in coop­er­a­tion with Ver­ti­cal Inno­va­tion Con­sul­tan­cy. The event is free of charge and does not require a tick­et to the Rad­i­cal Health Fes­ti­val, but a sep­a­rate reg­is­tra­tion is need­ed as there is a lim­it­ed num­ber of seats avail­able. Time: 21 May, 2024, at 14:00–17:30 Place: Helsin­ki Expo and Con­ven­tion Cen­tre (Mes­sukeskus). Con­fer­ence cen­ter room 207 (Kok­ous­si­ipi 207) Reg­is­tra­tion Key Points
  1. Threat Land­scape: Cyber­crim­i­nals tar­get patient data, cred­it card infor­ma­tion, and busi­ness secrets. Net­work traf­fic pos­es a sig­nif­i­cant risk, but phys­i­cal secu­ri­ty for med­ical devices in pub­lic places is equal­ly cru­cial. Mobile apps accom­pa­ny­ing these devices intro­duce new attack vec­tors.
  2. Data Breach Pre­pared­ness: Being proac­tive is essen­tial. Embed­ding risk analy­sis and user edu­ca­tion through­out the prod­uct devel­op­ment process helps pre­vent data breach­es.
  3. Reg­u­la­to­ry Com­pli­ance: The recent­ly enforced EU Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty Act (Jan­u­ary 2024) intro­duces new reg­u­la­tions. Exist­ing reg­u­la­tions like the Med­ical Device Reg­u­la­tion (MDR) and the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR) play vital roles. Addi­tion­al­ly, upcom­ing reg­u­la­tions such as the Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence Act, the Euro­pean Health Data Space Reg­u­la­tion, and the Data Act will impact med­ical devices’ cyber­se­cu­ri­ty require­ments.
  4. Indus­try Stan­dards: Beyond reg­u­la­tions, adher­ing to indus­try stan­dards is cru­cial. Health­care providers and phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal com­pa­nies often require ven­dors to com­ply with spe­cif­ic stan­dards.
  5. Chal­lenges and Solu­tions: The frag­ment­ed reg­u­la­to­ry land­scape out­side the EU pos­es chal­lenges. A data breach or non-com­pli­ance can be cat­a­stroph­ic, espe­cial­ly for small­er busi­ness­es. To address these issues, [Your Com­pa­ny Name] proud­ly offers a free edu­ca­tion­al sem­i­nar and work­shop.
Agen­da 14:00 Doors open, cof­fee served. 14:15 Wel­come Open­ing remarks — Pet­teri Järvi­nen 14:30 Keynotes on Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty in Health Peter Sund, CEO, Finnish Infor­ma­tion Secu­ri­ty Clus­ter ry Vasileios Min­gos, Euro­pean Oper­a­tions Direc­tor, Health-ISAC The keynote ses­sion aims to drill down the view on cyber­se­cu­ri­ty from a wider soci­etal aspect – bring­ing insights from pol­i­cy to prac­tices, from indus­try-agnos­tic strate­gies to health-spe­cif­ic top­ics. We will also take a look at cyber­se­cu­ri­ty not just on a nation­al lev­el, but also glob­al­ly with exam­ples of recent inci­dents. These illus­trate the types of threats that exist in the health indus­try as dig­i­tal­iza­tion expands risks on secu­ri­ty. But could they be turned into oppor­tu­ni­ties for health tech? 15:45 Break, sand­wich­es served. 16:15 Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty require­ments for health tech — pan­el dis­cus­sion
