SECURING EU HEALTHCARE IN TODAY'S HYBRID THREAT LANDSCAPE

Europe’s hospitals faced nearly 300 cybersecurity incidents in 2024, making healthcare the most targeted essential sector. Widely attributed to Russian-linked groups, major incidents cost around EUR 300 000 each — but the damage goes far beyond financial losses. The European Commission’s 2025 Action Plan on the Cybersecurity of Hospitals and Healthcare Providers is a critical step towards protecting EU healthcare from hybrid threats. Samuel Goodger and Elizabeth Kuiper of the European Policy Centre outline the priorities for ensuring the plan’s successful implementation.
