SUMMIT SUCCESS IN DUBROVNIK!
Learning, Sharing, & Connecting

Gateway to Security was an apt theme for this Summit because right out of the gate over 100 attendees from 18 countries shared threat and vulnerability information and mitigation strategies to help secure the global healthcare ecosphere. Feedback was extremely positive and there is already buzz around next year’s European Summit in Athens, Greece. Help set the agenda on the Summit Content Committee.

Congratulations, Eva Telecka

As the first recipient of the Securitas Award, Eva Telecka, Executive Director, IT Security & Risk Management BISO EMEA, at MSD, is a champion sharer of information, helping to protect the health sector and the Health-ISAC community here in Europe. She hosts and speaks at Health-ISAC workshops, webinars, and Summits in Europe and participates on the European Council. Eva stood up working groups around NIS2 and security issues like operations during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
