Cybersecurity has become a critical concern for many industries, particularly in sectors that handle sensitive data and provide essential services. The healthcare industry is one such sector where the reliance on digital technologies and interconnected systems exposes institutions to a wide range of cyber threats. These threats, including ransomware, data breaches, and malicious attacks, can severely compromise patient safety, disrupt services, and erode public trust. The ECHO Cyber Skills Framework (ECHO CSF) is designed to address these challenges by providing a structured approach to enhancing the cybersecurity skills and knowledge of healthcare professionals. By focusing on key competencies such as incident response, risk management, and regulatory compliance, the ECHO CSF seeks to close critical skill gaps in healthcare cybersecurity.
