The Cyber Incident Tracer (CIT) #HEALTH is a data platform that presents cyberattacks on the healthcare sector which disrupt the delivery of healthcare and subsequent impact on patients, healthcare professionals and facilities. The platform brings greater visibility to the scale of the problem and how such attacks impact people and the provision of care.

The data is displayed through filterable data visualizations and an aggregated searchable data table in which each incident can be expanded to explore specific details relating to the sources, incident itself, the targeted organization, and the impact of the incident.

The CyberPeace Institute developed CIT #HEALTH following its Strategic Analysis Report released in March 2021, entitled Playing with Lives: Cyberattacks on Healthcare are Attacks on People. This report made several key recommendations related to the existing data gap on cyberattacks against the healthcare sector, and the CIT #HEALTH platform is a step to remedy this issue by improving visibility of such attacks.

CIT #HEALTH will be a useful resource for a wide range of audiences from policy makers, healthcare professionals, cybersecurity experts, civil society organizations to the media. It will be updated regularly based on data accessibility.

This project has been selected by the Paris Peace Forum 2021 in the category “Digital world: strengthening cybersecurity for all”.
