Safeguarding CybersEcurity iN hEalthcare (SCENE) Workshop

within the 20th International Conference on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN2024)

May 6-9 2024, Montreal, Canada

---------------------------------------

Following the successful achievement of the first SCENE Workshop, we aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from cybersecurity, medical science, healthcare, information and telecommunications technology, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other disciplines, and the legal domain. The healthcare sector is facing an increasing number of cyber threats, as the digitization of healthcare and the use of connected medical devices continue to grow. These threats can come from a variety of sources, including malicious hackers, nation-state actors, and even insiders. Cybersecurity incidents in healthcare can have serious consequences, including the loss or theft of sensitive patient data, disruption of vital services, and damage to an organization's reputation. Safeguarding CybersEcurity iN hEalthcare aims to bring together viewpoints from diverse areas to explore the commonalities of cybersecurity issues and solutions in the healthcare sector. The workshop is supported by the EU-funded projects AERAS (https://www.aeras-project.eu/) AI4HealthSec (https://www.ai4healthsec.eu/), and SMART-BEAR (https://www.smart-bear.eu/). We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
