📝 General Introduction

Healthcare facilities are among the most sensitive and complex environments when it comes to security management, due to the nature of their services, the diversity of stakeholders, and the presence of critical data and life-saving equipment.

Securing these facilities requires a comprehensive strategy that integrates physical security, cybersecurity, emergency preparedness, and institutional coordination to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and infrastructure.

With rising threats such as cyberattacks, internal incidents, and public health emergencies, healthcare organizations must adopt flexible and adaptive security systems.

This workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to design and implement integrated security strategies tailored to healthcare environments, applying best practices in protection, coordination, and response.

It also emphasizes the importance of training, performance evaluation, and the use of modern technologies to support security decision-making.

Over five intensive days, participants will gain practical tools to build safe, sustainable, and regulation-compliant healthcare environments.
