About Us

The UC San Diego Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity is a multidisciplinary research, education, and advocacy program dedicated to addressing emerging cybersecurity threats in healthcare. By integrating clinical expertise with technical innovation, the Center develops real-world solutions that protect patient safety, enhance hospital resilience, and strengthen the security of medical systems.

Cyber threats in healthcare go beyond IT infrastructure—they disrupt hospital operations, delay critical treatments, and put lives at risk. The Center was established to ensure that hospitals, clinics, and medical systems can withstand and recover from cyber incidents without compromising patient care.

Through collaboration with healthcare institutions, industry leaders, and government agencies, the Center is creating a proactive, adaptable cybersecurity ecosystem that evolves with emerging threats. Working at the intersection of medicine, cybersecurity, and technology, the Center is redefining how healthcare organizations prepare for and respond to cyber risks.
