Hackable Hospital Cybersecurity and Cyberterrorism Simulation
Format
This half day pre-course will be delivered on Saturday 12 October, 8:30-12:30 at the EUSEM congress in Copenhagen.
Course Overview
In this half-day training course, participants will take on the roles of cybersecurity and disaster medicine experts, tasked with identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities in a simulated hospital. After identifying these vulnerabilities, participants collaborate to devise measures to prevent cyberattacks and describe how the hospital disaster plan should be modified to address these hazards. The exercise utilizes the hospital cybersecurity simulator, www.hackablehospital.com, to ensure that participants derive maximum benefit from a highly interactive and enjoyable experience.
Course Objectives
The Hackable Hospital course is a simulation exercise that integrates hospital disaster planning and cybersecurity.
1. Understand common types of cyber vulnerabilities that may lead to cyberterrorist attacks
2. Describe ways that hospitals can prevent cybersecurity attacks
3. Describe how hospitals can create a disaster plan to mitigate and respond to cybersecurity attacks.
For who
This course is suitable for Physicians, Nurses, Paramedics and Trainees.

| 08:30 – 08:30 | Participants assemble in the conference room |
| 08:35 – 09:00 | Lesson on Cybersecurity – Jeffrey Franc |
| 09:00 – 09:15 | Review of the exercise agenda and time for questions about the exercise – Jeffrey Franc |
| 09:15 – 09:30 | Participants sent to small groups of 5 to 10 people. Groups review the exercise instructions together. |
| 09:30-10:30 | Simulation exercise. Participants attempt various strategies to show cyber-vulnerabilities in the simulated hospital web interface by connecting to the www.hackablehospital.com simulator and attempting to gain access to the hospital’s command and control infrastructure using any type of cyberattack. Facilitators move between the breakout rooms to assist groups that are having trouble and to challenge groups that are excelling. |
| 10:45 – 11:15 | Break |
| 11:15 – 11:45 | Groups present (1) a vulnerability they have discovered, (2) how it can be prevented, and (3) how the disaster plan should be modified for mitigation. |
11:45 – 12:15 | Debriefing |
