These attacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective cybersecurity measures are particularly challenging today, because there are <strong>more devices than people<\/strong>, and attackers are becoming more innovative.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not a question of \u201cif\u201d but \u201cwhen\u201d the next cyber attack occurs. The <strong>challenge<\/strong> we must face is about <strong>organizations and people. <\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>People are the most important<\/strong>: cybersecurity is about all of us. Users must understand and comply with basic data security principles like choosing strong passwords, being wary of attachments in email, and backing up data. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of us know the importance of ensuring that the health and care systems nationally, regionally and locally are equipped to withstand and respond to cyber attacks in an effective manner which <strong>minimises disruption<\/strong> to services and, most importantly,<strong> impact on patients<\/strong>. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lessons learned show us that, together, we will strengthen the resilience and preparedness of the health and social care system against future cyber attacks.Organizations must have a framework for how they deal with both attempted and successful cyber attacks. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this framework, <strong>Tom\u00e1s Roy<\/strong> highlighted the importance of innovation, and that we need to be proactive in key areas such as <strong>#bigdata #blockchain #Realworlddata<\/strong> that accelerate and facilitate these processes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum up, \u00a0cybersecurity is proactive tool that creates value for the organizations. \u00a0It&#8217;s a question for everyone to be involved in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Related to this, our CTO, <a href=\"https:\/\/perseivivarium.com\/why-vivarium.php#miguelcabanas\">Miguel Caba\u00f1as<\/a> considered:<strong>\u00a0\u201cCibersecurity as a MUST.\u00a0 <\/strong>All organization should work on and we should not forget that it <strong>incluides not only technical measures but also organizational and processes measures.<\/strong> It\u2019s a good recomendation that all the organizations should implement any methodology to enhance security policies following Deming cycle because it may help having a continuous improvement of all security measures\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/cybersecurity?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#cybersecurity<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/cyberattack?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> #cyberattack <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GDPR?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#GDPR<\/a><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"iframe_container\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" width=\"550\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/prezi.com\/embed\/jznparbsnrc1\/?bgcolor=ffffff&#038;lock_to_path=0&#038;autoplay=0&#038;autohide_ctrls=0&#038;landing_data=bHVZZmNaNDBIWnNjdEVENDRhZDFNZGNIUE43MHdLNWpsdFJLb2ZHanI5ei9XRUhiR0FQMlRGZzBJYzJYWGlCQXlBPT0&#038;landing_sign=08hNYDONBKAbEWEfBqbBta9ZSBrGIYELJiGWU1qh7Q8\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.48&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|27px|0px|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Share<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.8&#8243; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Rosa Siles&#8221; position=&#8221;Director of Institutional Relations and Communication&#8221; image_url=&#8221;https:\/\/perseivivarium.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Rosa-.jpeg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.16.1&#8243; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/perseivivarium.com\/why-vivarium.php#rosasiles&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Persei Vivarium participated in the debate \u201cLessons learned of the WannaCry Ransomware Cyber Attack\u201d, celebrated in Barcelona.
