Germany’s BSI also recorded 138 incidents, healthcare-related including 43 providers such as hospitals. affecting To safeguard health, patient data and critical infrastructure, the sector must implement strong security measures. It must also follow global regulations, such as HIPAA and JCAHO (USA) or NIS2 and KRITIS (EU and Germany) and MHLW guidelines (Japan).
