Showcasing our results

Digitally secure food production

Cyber security are crucial when handling healthcare-related information and information systems. The security of the healthcare was developed in the Healthcare Cyber Range project and in the Cyber Security Incident Response Processes and Guidelines in Healthcare Environments project. The cyber resilience of healthcare sector is also improved annually in Finland's national cyber exercises.

Healthcare cyber range

One of the most significant achievement of our projects was the development of a cyber range for the healthcare sector.

Pilot exercise

The healthcare cyber range was piloted in a cyber exercise for the industry that enhanced the skills and tested the processes of healthcare actors.

Knowledge and publications

As a result of our work, the handbook for healthcare operators was produced. The handbook aims to help Finnish healthcare organizations develop their cyber incident management processes and guidelines.
