LABS

Leading Advancements in Better Security

LABS is an innovation initiative within Z-CERT focused on applied research that directly contributes to the digital resilience of the healthcare sector. The name LABS stands for "Leading Advancements in Better Security", reflecting the ambition to be at the forefront of strengthening cybersecurity. 

Applied research

Within Z-CERT, LABS serves as a research and collaboration platform. Its goal is to develop new knowledge and translate it into practical, actionable products, such as guidelines, proofs of concept, and innovative approaches that can be immediately applied in practice. The focus is on current and complex themes, including:

  • Governance and risk management
  • The impact of AI and emerging technologies
  • Securing interconnected systems in healthcare 

Catalyst for collaboration and knowledge sharing

LABS is more than just a research environment, it is a catalyst for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Z-CERT brings together stakeholders, forms consortia, and initiates research projects where universities, knowledge institutions, and other organizations work together. This alignment ensures that supply and demand in innovation are better matched, and practical solutions can be developed more quickly.

International added value

Internationally, LABS also offers clear added value. By participating in joint research projects, often within European collaborations and funding programs, partners have the opportunity to contribute, exchange knowledge, and collectively build a higher level of cyber resilience in healthcare.
