The rapid pace of society’s technological innovations has created a set of transformative opportunities in the healthcare industry, notably elevating the quality of life while subsequently serving as a permeable arena for cybercriminals. The core function of healthcare is maintaining people’s well-being and, in some cases, it constitutes a meaningful portion of national economic output. Growing cybersecurity risks to the critical infrastructure sector pose a threat to national security, prompting government response. This study compares the current national cybersecurity strategies and regulations used by Israel and the Netherlands to protect the healthcare sector against cyber threats and presents recommendations for future strategies and regulations.
