Course Overview

This training course addresses cybersecurity and patient data protection in the clinical setting, where general information security and data protection programs rarely reach. It focuses on the obligations that health-data laws place on hospitals and health-technology providers, including data custodianship, data localization, limits on cross-border transfers, and breach notification, together with the security of medical devices, clinical networks, and the continuity of care during ransomware attacks. Participants will examine the healthcare threat landscape and the assets that matter most to patient care: electronic health records, laboratory, pharmacy and imaging systems, connected medical devices, and hospital building systems. The program applies recognized frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO 27799 to hospital cybersecurity governance, risk assessment, and security operations. The course also covers security in medical-device procurement and lifecycle management, network segmentation for clinical environments, identity and privileged access for clinical and vendor users, health-technology supplier risk, and continuous monitoring through a security operations center. Particular attention is given to ransomware preparedness, downtime procedures, and recovery priorities that keep essential care services running. Through case studies, tabletop exercises, patient data-flow mapping, device risk reviews, and breach-notification scenarios, participants will build a practical plan to protect patient data and sustain clinical services under cyber pressure.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyze the healthcare cyber threat landscape and its impact on patient care and hospital operations.
  • Interpret health-data law obligations on custodianship, localization, cross-border transfer, and breach notification.
  • Establish cybersecurity governance and accountability across IT, clinical, and biomedical engineering functions.
  • Apply recognized frameworks to assess cybersecurity risk in hospitals and health networks.
  • Map patient data flows across clinical systems, medical devices, partners, and cloud services.
  • Evaluate security risks in connected medical devices from procurement to decommissioning.
  • Design network segmentation and access controls suited to clinical environments.
  • Strengthen identity, privileged access, and vendor remote access controls for health systems.
  • Assess cybersecurity and data protection risks from health-technology suppliers.
  • Develop healthcare security monitoring and incident response procedures, including breach notification.
  • Plan ransomware resilience, downtime procedures, and recovery priorities that protect continuity of care.
  • Develop a practical roadmap for strengthening healthcare cybersecurity and patient data protection.

Who Should Attend

This training course is designed for hospital Chief Information Security Officers, IT and infrastructure managers, information security specialists, health information management professionals, privacy and data protection officers, biomedical and clinical engineering managers, and risk and compliance professionals in healthcare. It is particularly relevant to hospitals, clinic networks, laboratories, health insurers, ministries of health, health regulators, and health-technology providers that collect, host, exchange, or process patient information. The program will also benefit digital health leaders, procurement and contract teams, internal auditors, business continuity specialists, and hospital executives responsible for cyber resilience and patient data protection decisions.

Learning Outcomes

  • By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
  • Explain how cyber threats affect patient safety, care delivery, and hospital operations.
  • Apply health-data law requirements on custodianship, localization, and cross-border transfers.
  • Establish clear cybersecurity governance across IT, clinical, and biomedical teams.
  • Conduct structured cyber risk assessments for critical clinical services.
  • Map patient data flows and identify points of exposure.
  • Assess medical-device security risks throughout the device lifecycle.
  • Design segmented clinical networks with appropriate access controls.
  • Implement identity, privileged access, and supplier access controls.
  • Evaluate health-technology suppliers against security and data protection requirements.
  • Manage healthcare security incidents and breach notification decisions.
  • Prepare downtime and recovery plans that sustain care during ransomware attacks.
  • Produce an integrated healthcare cybersecurity and patient data protection plan.
