• The Romanian healthcare sector is increasingly digitalized, which causes an exponential increase in the attack surface;
• Human error is the most common vulnerability factor in cybersecurity;
• Impact mitigation methods: employee training, device and data protection, medical device security;
• The level of cybersecurity awareness remains insufficient in the healthcare sector, both at management and user level
• Cybersecurity culture: prioritizing cybersecurity in the organizational culture to increase patient safety and data security.
