eHealth Security Conference 2020 Online Series

ENISA is organising a series of virtual eHealth Security conferences in cooperation with the Danish Health Data Authority on cybersecurity topics touching the Healthcare sector.

The aim of the events is to invite professionals from the healthcare sector and experts in cybersecurity to share their experiences and challenges through open discussion sessions. Each monthly session will focus on individual topics.

Session 2: Cybersecurity in COVID19 tracing mobile apps

Mobile applications can help health authorities at a national and EU level in monitoring and containing the spread of COVID-19. Since its declaration as a pandemic, many countries have announced the launch of apps to support the fight against the virus.

An EU toolbox was released following the European Commission’s recommendation on apps for contact tracing which will serve as a means of combating and alleviating the COVID-19 crisis. Representatives of the teams having developped these applications will share experience and challenges from cybersecurity perspective.
