Case healthcare
Ensuring cyber security in healthcare is vital for protecting patient data and maintaining the integrity of medical services.
Showcasing our results

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.

Healthcare cyber range

The exercise environment built for healthcare actors enables practicing anticipation and acting in difficult and extensive cyberattack situations. The environment also makes it possible to test existing processes and cooperation between organizations. The healthcare cyber range is modelled as part of out RGCE environment.
What is included in the healthcare cyber range?
Virtual hospitals, hospital equipment, social and health information systems and national common services have been modelled to the environment.

Patient information systems
Medical records, referrals, prescriptions, laboratory results, imaging and hospital wards.

Intensive care unit
In addition to virtual systems, a physical patient simulator and medical equipment such as a ventilator and a patient monitor.

Realistically modelled records
Personal data, addresses, banking, company and patient information, disease classifications, prescription drugs, drug pack sizes and reference values for laboratory results.

Integrated national services
Kanta, THL, Kela, pharmacies, prescription center and strong authentication service.
