Cybersicherheit in Krankenhäusern – Teil 1: IT-Compliance als Leitungsaufgabe

The threat of cyber attacks is a burning issue in all industries. In the case of hospitals, a cyber incident can not only lead to the loss of patient data but can also put patients’ lives in danger. Hospitals are therefore obliged by a large number of laws to maintain sufficient protective measures. Monitoring compliance with these regulations is the responsibility of hospital managers. This is an important compliance task. Cyber insurance can be part of the solution. Particular caution is required when paying ransoms in the event of ransomware attacks.
