This will be achieved by the introduction of new organizational structure; establishment of cybersecurity procedures; introduction of new IT tools (such as DLP - Data Loss Prevention, AMES - Availability Monitoring of Essential Services, SIEM - Security Information and Event Management, EDR - Endpoint Detection and Response, CIMS - Cybersecurity Incident Management System); using a managed Security Operation Centre (SOC) services; conducting vulnerability and penetration testing; as well as educating the beneficiary's personnel on cybersecurity issues.

The Action will improve the beneficiary's cooperation with relevant cybersecurity stakeholders at the national and European level. It will implement communication channels and procedures for information cyber security sharing to ensure effective cyber security information exchange for all stakeholders in health management system and reporting mechanisms with competent ministry, national CSIRT and other bodies. The beneficiary will also join a relevant European Level Sectoral ISAC, and/or will participate in events organised by the ISAC facilities manager (set-up by the European Commission) and will have used the support services of that manager and it will contribute to security operations centres (SOCs) in line with the EU Cybersecurity Strategy.

As a result of this Action, the beneficiary’ cybersecurity resilience to detect, report and respond to cyber threats will be improved, limiting the economic and political damage of cyber incidents.
