With 6,000 participants online and more than 800 in person, the “Major trends in e-health” – 2025 edition, an event organised by Jérôme Leleu and the entire Interaction Healthcare team, is proving to be the major event not to be missed in the field of e-health.
Our partner, Delphine Jaafar, who is in charge of the firm’s Health Team, spoke at STATION F on 28 January 2025, alongside Alexis Gadenne (OKANTIS), Eléna Poincet (TEHTRIS), Thomas Jan (UniHA), Steven Garnier (AGENCE DU NUMERIQUE EN SANTE), Line Guffond Le Goanvic (QUANTIHEALTH) and Didier Ambroise (DOSHAS CONSULTING), as part of the workshop devoted to Cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity legislation has changed significantly in recent years, particularly with the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.
Contingency plans often overlook legal compliance in the event of unauthorised access, even though legal liabilities may arise.
Cyber attacks can have significant legal consequences, including:
- administrative sanctions;
- criminal proceedings;
- civil liability claims brought by individuals whose data has been compromised or by partners/service providers who have suffered indirect damage;
- consequences for the reputation and trust of users.
Establishments have full responsibility in the event of a flaw.
From a legal point of view, cybersecurity can lead to confusion between the situations of Victim and Responsible Party.
And the transnational nature of cybercrime triggers real new legal challenges.
Cybersecurity in healthcare is not just a technical issue. It’s a human issue!
When a system is down, it is not just a black screen: diagnoses are delayed, care is compromised, and trust is undermined.
It is time to look at cybersecurity not as a constraint, but as a strategic investment.
The legal issues surrounding cybersecurity are anything but relative!
