National Health Cybersecurity 

Policies and Strategies in a Global Context 

NEW Policy Paper on CyberSecurity

​

Abstract:

This paper aims to explore the specificities of information security and cybersecurity risks in the health sector, pointing out to the need for specific policies, strategies and governance, both at national and international levels. It details health cybersecurity context and what are the peculiar risks and challenges in securing health cyberspace. It uses the Portuguese example to illustrate national level most relevant issues, the policies, strategy and governance adopted and how it established existing international collaboration mechanisms. It explores why and how individualized National Health Cybersecurity Policies and Strategies (NHCPS) make sense and could benefit from being conceived and deployed. Lastly, it analyses existing international cooperation in the area of health cybersecurity and advances alternative suggestions within the scope of existing inter-governmental organizations, including the eventual role of UN, WHO, or even NATO in this, increasingly important field of national and international defence – the health cyberspace.
