It is the CyberPeace Institute’s mission to direct assistance to vulnerable populations targeted by large-scale cyberattacks. This is why we created Cyber 4 Healthcare in June 2020.

Cyber 4 Healthcare scales up assistance to such populations by connecting commercial partners willing to offer free assistance to healthcare organizations anywhere in the world in need of cybersecurity services.

Over 100 requests for assistance have been received so far, albeit few actually conclusive. At the moment, the partners of Cyber 4 Healthcare are actively supporting 5 organizations in 3 continents, helping them respond to a variety of security issues.

“We are a grateful recipient of the Cyber 4 Healthcare service that helped us to evaluate and structure our cybersecurity posture. Thank you warmly from all of us. ”

Why Cyber 4 Healthcare?

Hospitals and medical care facilities are critical sources of lifesaving care – for those most vulnerable to illness and, in times like the current crisis, for all of us. Yet they are also some of the most complex information and operational technology environments in the world. Managing and securing these environments under normal conditions is a challenge.
The current Covid-19 pandemic exacerbates existing risks and previews new challenges on the horizon stemming from the rapid uptake of new technologies, reliance on remote patient care and the digital dependence of the supply chain. At the same time, the lack of cybersecurity budget, resources, operational capabilities and implementation challenges are an ongoing struggle for the whole healthcare sector.
To protect healthcare personnel and facilities during this time of crisis, the private sector and a vibrant network of cyber volunteer initiatives have risen up organically to fill many of these voids. Their efforts are a testament to the spirit of volunteerism and its power to lay the groundwork for sustainable impact in a complex cyber environment where there is no one-size-fits-all.
Cyber 4 Healthcare brings many of these efforts in one place. Through this platform, healthcare organizations fighting COVID-19 can access a personalized service to find trusted cybersecurity assistance provided by qualified and reputable companies.
