'25 Nursing Symposium:How Nurses are Shaping the Future of Cyber Resilience

Nurses trained in informatics are more likely to understand the importance of securing healthcare data, which is essential for cyber resilience. They are also better equipped to identify risks and mitigate them by using secure practices within healthcare technology systems. A digitally literate nurse is less vulnerable to cyber threats, as they are more aware of safe online practices, such as identifying suspicious emails or avoiding unsecured networks. This literacy is crucial for supporting cyber resilience, as healthcare professionals are frontline users of technology. A workforce with strong nursing informatics competencies and digital literacy is better equipped to contribute to the healthcare organization’s overall cyber resilience. They understand the importance of data security, privacy, and technology best practices, helping reduce the risk of cyber incidents.
