Cyber-attacks have become an unpleasant reality for healthcare providers. These attacks can have dangerous consequences and impact access to healthcare, approval of emergency procedures and dispensing of vital prescriptions. The healthcare sector pays the highest price for cyber-attacks, spending more than any other sector to recover.
An example of this is the recent wave of ransomware attacks across the US healthcare system that impacted the care of more than 100 million patients, or the attack on a private healthcare network in Italy, which resulted in the theft of 1,5 terabytes of personal data.
Artificial Intelligence is in fact revolutionizing the face of cybersecurity, already finding numerous fields of application today, both from the point of view of defenders and from that of attackers.
During the KINAITICS roundtable of the Hospitals on FHIR User Days, after a brief introduction on the project objectives and innovation aspects, research centers in cybersecurity (CEA), hospitals (FTGM and CHU Toulouse), and academia (KUL and FORTH) discussed what the current experiences were and how hospitals can benefit from the adoption of the KINAITICS tools, in respect of the current regulatory framework.
