What we want to achieve

A united and more cyber-resilient European healthcare system

CS4H wants to make European healthcare more cyber-resilient by giving organisations access to proven cybersecurity solutions tailored to their needs.

what works for some should benefit all

Organisations often face many of the same cybersecurity challenges, but rarely share solutions. Similar problems are solved repeatedly, valuable experience remains local and practical knowledge is not always easy to reuse. CyberShield4Health aims to change that.

What shared cyber resilience looks like

We envision a European healthcare sector where organisations learn from one another, build on existing solutions and understand that their own cyber resilience is a challenge best addressed together.

  • A culture of shared knowledge

    We want to help create a Europe-wide culture that empowers organisations to share lessons, best practices, methodologies and solutions.

  • Less duplicated efforts

    We want organisations to look for solutions collectively and benefit from existing solutions rather than reinvent the wheel on their own.

  • Accessible and actionable solutions

    We want proven solutions to be readily available, practical and actionable regardless of organisations’ size and cyber maturity.

  • Stronger collective cyber resilience

    We believe these principles will strengthen Europe’s healthcare organisations and turn our healthcare system into a united, cyber-resilient collective.

A new reality

Turning ambition into measurable objectives

Understand cybersecurity maturity and needs

Assess the cybersecurity maturity of more than 150 healthcare organisations and identify recurring gaps, priorities and areas where support is needed. 

Offer proven solutions and improvement plans

We want to give healthcare organisations access to a catalogue of proven cybersecurity solutions and clear improvement plans tailored to their needs.

Validate solutions in real-world healthcare settings

Make sure that cybersecurity solutions are effective and applicable regardless cyber maturity, size and healthcare environment.

Strengthen cybersecurity skills and readiness

Provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge, awareness and 
skills they need to  prevent, detect and respond to cyber threats.

Improve NIS2 readiness

We want to help healthcare organisations improve their cybersecurity maturity, respond better to cyber threats and meet NIS2 requirements.

Share what works beyond the pilots

We want healthcare organisations across Europe to benefit from the solutions, practical resources and lessons learned through the project, not just those involved in the pilots.
