The project will develop cyber security incident response processes and guidelines for healthcare environments, to improve and ensure the continuity of socially critical healthcare also if cyber-attacks occur.

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, the project is very topical and there is a great need for preparedness for cyber threats. Numerous cyber-attacks targeted to healthcare organizations related to the COVID-19 crisis have been reported around the world.

The project is related to solving the challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis and the commercialization of the solutions considering the changing world.

The processes and guidelines produced as a result of the project are available for healthcare actors at the end of the project. The processes and guidelines help ensure the performance of healthcare and on the one hand, they enable and stabilize the establishment of new business even after the crises.
