Free training materials: Cybersecurity for health startups and growth companies

The healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors represent a highly complex environment from a cybersecurity perspective. Cybercriminals target sensitive information like patient data, credit card details, and business secrets. While network traffic poses a significant risk, ensuring the physical security of medical devices in public spaces is equally critical. Additionally, mobile apps connected to these devices open up new pathways for potential attacks.

To help startups and growth companies navigate these challenges, Health Capital Helsinki, Helsinki-Uusimaa Regional Council (Uudenmaan liitto), and Vertical Innovation Consultancy organised two events in 2024: Cybersecure Health Tech Forum and Cybersecure Health Tech Workshop. While seating was limited, the training materials and keynote presentations are now available to all, free of charge.
