Digitalisation in healthcare and welfare continues to be a topical subject of the public debate today. Changes in the landscape with ongoing war makes it crucial to look beyond patterns from before. The geopolitic drivs new threats. In this sector, cyber attacks can have ramifications beyond financial loss and breach of privacy, actually matters of life and death. In this fireside chat we zoom in on threats being more and more professionalized and specialized, often from Russia and China. Our global and digital economy, with strong ties to both US and China, increases vulnerabilities and risks, putting requirements on organisations beyond IT. The subject has to move from server room to board room. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn non-googleble information from Northwave and our Threat Intelligence. A top notch team with insights from a broad network, being trusted advisor to many European organisations and public authorities, for instance as part of Europol advisory board.
