• Abstract: The healthcare sector is increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to its growing digitalization. Patient data, including medical records and financial information, are at risk, potentially leading to identity theft and patient safety concerns. The European Union and other organizations identify key areas for healthcare system improvement, yet the industry still grapples with inadequate security practices. In response, the HEIR project offers a comprehensive cybersecurity approach, promoting security features from various regulatory frameworks and introducing tools such as the Secure Healthcare Framework and Risk Assessment for Medical Applications (RAMA). These measures aim to enhance digital health security and protect sensitive patient data while facilitating secure data access and privacy-aware techniques. In a rapidly evolving threat landscape, HEIR presents a promising framework for healthcare cybersecurity.
