Z-CERT: “Small healthcare institutions are generally more vulnerable than large healthcare institutions, such as hospitals”

Interview with the director Wim Hafkamp and security specialist Jan Hanstede of Z-CERT by the DeCrisis manager

Which type of healthcare institutions do you feel are the most vulnerable to such a threat?

“Small healthcare facilities are generally more vulnerable than large healthcare facilities, such as hospitals. This is because they have less feeling for IT. They have often outsourced the IT and are piggybacking on the security of their supplier. They trust that their supplier has cybersecurity in order. That is not always the case.”
