Recently, at the Agenda Rom\u00e2nia 4.0. event<\/a> in<\/a> Timi\u0219oara<\/a>, cybersecurity experts, medical institution representatives, and authorities discussed the challenges and concrete solutions in medical cybersecurity. The panel brought together specialists from key institutions such as DNSC and STS, as well as private security companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ioan Codrea (Managing Partner of infinilink.com) had deeper insights regarding regulations, practical solutions, and funding methods for cybersecurity initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Current threats need rapid responses<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The medical sector faces increasingly sophisticated threats. According to statistics, 11%<\/strong> of ransomware attacks in 2024 targeted the medical sector. Moreover, ENISA reports that 76%<\/strong> of attacks on the medical system are carried out through standard web protocols, and 39%<\/strong> come from inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A concrete example of an attack was the one on February 12, 2024, targeting multiple hospitals in Romania. “The restoration process involved downtimes ranging from several hours to two weeks, creating chaos in the absence of clear procedures for switching to classical operations,”<\/em> detailed David Burcovschi (Hypen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institutional response’s rapidity was remarkable: by February 14, DNSC had already organized a well-attended workshop, providing guidelines and solutions for healthcare system security issues. “Through the PNRISC platform, any institution can report security incidents, and our teams promptly intervene, coordinating the response at a national level,”<\/em> explained Mihai Constantinescu (DNSC).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ioan Codrea (infinilink) presented a detailed analysis of NIS2 requirements, highlighting two types of compliance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Procedural compliance:<\/strong> internal IT procedures based on ISO 27001; reporting protocols; periodic and technical audits. “Romania is surprisingly well-positioned in terms of NIS2 documentation and implementation, even better than Germany,” emphasized Ioan Codrea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Technical compliance<\/strong>, with several components including: network segmentation; 2FA\/two-factor authentication; scanning solutions; incident reporting and logging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Romania is surprisingly well-positioned in terms of NIS2 documentation and implementation, even better than Germany,”<\/em> emphasized Ioan Codrea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the most pressing issues is the lack of cybersecurity specialists in medical institutions. Alexandru Costache (Medici Pentru Rom\u00e2nia) highlighted two main causes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
