CyberCare Kymi
We offer a network, free tools, and a learning environment for the social and healthcare sector.
The funding was granted by the Kymenlaakso Regional Council, with co-financing from the European Union.
What we offer
Ensuring cybersecurity is crucial as business resilience requires support. For instance, it is essential to strengthen business continuity capabilities and networks that support the economy.
The healthcare sector plays a pivotal role in Kymenlaakso’s economic structure. However, the industry necessitates modernization, particularly with the adoption of new digital solutions.
Healthcare organizations must possess cybersecurity preparedness to ensure operational continuity even in the event of disruptions. This is paramount when dealing with sensitive customer and patient data and acting as a service provider for the well-being region.

What we do
Digital Networks in Social and Healthcare
Digital Networks in Social and Healthcare
The CyberCare initiative aims to establish a network for enhancing cybersecurity in the social and healthcare sector. This network will bring together small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public entities, educational organizations, and organizations supporting social and healthcare entrepreneurship to share knowledge, expertise, tools, and collaboration opportunities both regionally and nationally. Robust networks empower businesses to adapt to both regulatory requirements and unforeseen digital challenges.
Online Courses and Scenario-Based Training
Online Courses and Scenario-Based Training
The second work package of the project focuses on gathering information from social and healthcare SMEs through workshops focused on topics like business continuity. Based on this information, the preparedness and knowledge level of companies will be improved. Tailored online courses will be created for social and healthcare entrepreneurs to overcome risks and cyber crises. Similarly, scenario exercises that are most suitable for the companies will be developed and piloted in Xamk’s new cybersecurity virtual laboratory.
Shaping the Future!
Shaping the Future!
The project is taking an active approach to cybersecurity by developing a concept for a cyber crisis management training environment. This environment will serve as a platform for healthcare professionals to hone their skills and enhance their preparedness in the face of cyber threats.
Exercises
Exercises are only available in Finnish.

Kyberturvan tulevaisuus Kymenlaaksossa
The project supports the cyber and data security preparedness of Kymenlaakso businesses through a diverse service offering, including training and cyber exercises.
Who? Why? How?
Objectives
The project aims to develop the healthcare sector’s operating environment and promote research and development (R&D) activities based on the needs of businesses. In particular, the project supports the continuity of SMEs’ operations and develops new service concepts. National and international R&D activities are increased to improve cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. The project prepares an operational concept for a cyber crisis management hospital training environment. For example, such an environment could be implemented later by utilizing Xamk’s existing training hospital facilities. The hospital training environment is conceptualized in such a way that it can utilize the scenario exercises carried out in this project and Xamk’s VirtualLab, which is being built in the KyberTurvan Tulevaisuus Kymenlaaksossa (Cybersecurity Future in Kymenlaakso) project.
