Digital Health Canada creates cyber security resource

TORONTO – Digital Health Canada’s CHIEF Executive Forum has released Code Grey, a cyber security resource for healthcare delivery executives produced by the CHIEF Executive Forum Cyber Security Working Group with input from the Canadian Centre for Cybersecurity.

This new resource provides high-level strategic guidance on three phases of security – preparation, response, and recovery – with links to trustworthy Canadian information sources and available tools for health executives.

Healthcare delivery leaders who understand that cyber security requires executive-level attention may use Code Grey as a starting place to assess and address executive and board levels of cyber security understanding, maturity, and readiness.
