Cybersecurity in the healthcare sector: Requirements for medical device manufacturers and clinics as part of the critical infrastructure

Digitalisation in the healthcare sector offers enormous potential. Unfortunately, however, there are also increasing reports of cyber security incidents in clinics. As a result, these medical facilities are coming into focus as critical infrastructure.

The EU Directive NIS-2 on cyber security also poses new challenges for manufacturers of networked medical devices. NIS-2 is currently being implemented at national level and a German draft law has been available since May 2024.

Katharina Klenk-Wernitzki, Elisabeth Kohoutek and Christian Kuß (Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH) will first discuss the supply of medical devices as part of the critical infrastructure and cyber security in the clinic. In the course of this, the speakers will also present best practices from their professional practice.

In view of the CrowdStrike incident, there are many unanswered questions regarding liability and the limitation of damages. In the second presentation, our speakers will address this topic and report on how a checklist for drafting contracts can be helpful here.

We look forward to valuable insights into this important topic and exciting discussions with you.
