The healthcare industry has made great efforts over the past few years to prevent and mitigate the risks of cyberattacks targeting connected medical devices and healthcare systems. The alarming numbers indicating an increase in cyberattacks against healthcare institutions sadly show that there are still problems to tackle, particularly on the part of MDMs.
The introduction of the NIS2 Directive marks one of the latest and most important attempts to address these challenges. What’s the meaning of NIS2 to the healthcare sector and how do MDMs get started?
In parallel with the introduction of the NIS2 Directive, the European Commission has also adopted the Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive, focusing on the protection of public and private organizations against physical threats. Both of these Directives aim to increase resilience and counter threats that could disrupt society. It’s time to go deeper into the CER Directive and how it affects the healthcare sector and Medical Device Manufacturers (MDMs).
