Cyber Security in Healthcare Systems: A Review of Tools and Attack Mitigation Techniques

연구 분야: Strategies

학회: International Workshop on Secure and Resilient Digital Transformation of Healthcare

In recent years, healthcare, and financial sectors have experienced a significant increase in cyber-attacks. The healthcare sector, in particular, has been a major target due to its inadequate security measures and the sensitivity of its data. This vulnerability, despite its critical impact on patient services and hospital reputation, has not received the necessary priority in terms of cyber security. The potential consequences, including data breaches, patient safety risks, and reputational damage to the healthcare organization, are severe and should cause immediate concern. This study aims to explore the impact of cyber security on healthcare systems. We employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, and 43 existing studies were analyzed. This study highlights the significance of cyber security in healthcare systems and cyber security tools employed in healthcare. It also outlines the existing cyber-attacks and mitigation strategies in healthcare settings. Furthermore, we highlight the research gaps in cyber security of healthcare systems, providing a foundation for future research in this area.
