Last Thursday, a new edition of Ciberseguridad al Descubierto was held at the Hospital Universitario de Cabueñes in Gijón. This is a benchmark annual event that we have been organizing continuously for the past seven years, with the aim of raising awareness, educating, and promoting cybersecurity from a cross-cutting, practical, and multidisciplinary perspective.

Over the course of these editions, the event has become a meeting point for professionals from different fields, combining technical, organizational, legal, and strategic approaches, and encouraging the exchange of knowledge and real-world experiences in the field of information security.

On this occasion, the event placed a special focus on the healthcare sector, a critical and particularly sensitive area due to the value of the information it manages, the growing digitalization of clinical and care services, and the direct impact that a cybersecurity incident can have on continuity of care and patient safety. During the event, the main current challenges facing healthcare in terms of cybersecurity were addressed, along with emerging threats, best practices, and the need to foster a strong security culture at all levels of the organization.

Hosting Ciberseguridad al Descubierto at the Hospital Universitario de Cabueñes reinforces the commitment to the protection of systems, data, and people, highlighting the importance of collaboration among professionals, institutions, and disciplines to successfully tackle current and future cybersecurity challenges, especially in sectors as essential as healthcare.
