“…The healthcare sector shares most of the threat vectors with other industries however the impact of a compromise is much higher given it involves the safety of patients. Priya et al [11] described some of the security attacks that are targeted at healthcare systems and the challenges they pose to the security, integrity and availability of sensitive data. The authors characterised the security attacks into three phases which are: the data gathering phase, network gathering phase and Storage phase.…”

Cybersecurity incidents are on the rise in the healthcare sector and it is becoming a growing concern for the senior executives. The attack surface is expanding due to the large number of connected medical devices and the proliferation of portable devices such as smart phones, tablets and USB devices. In this paper, we will discuss some of the security challenges facing this sector and propose a set of cybersecurity metrics that could be used to enhance the protection of the IT systems.

Background: According to the renowned and Oscar award-winning American actor and film director Marlon Brando, “privacy is not something that I am merely entitled to, it is an absolute prerequisite.” Privacy threats and data breaches occur daily, and countries are mitigating the consequences caused by privacy and data breaches. The Indian healthcare industry is one of the largest and rapidly developing industry. Overall, healthcare management is changing from disease-centric into patient-centric systems. Healthcare data analysis also plays a crucial role in healthcare management, and the privacy of patient records must receive equal attention. Purpose: This paper mainly presents the utility and privacy factors of the Indian healthcare data and discusses the utility aspect and privacy problems concerning Indian healthcare systems. It defines policies that reform Indian healthcare systems. The case study of the NITI Aayog report is presented to explain how reformation occurs in Indian healthcare systems. Findings: It is found that there have been numerous research studies conducted on Indian healthcare data across all dimensions; however, privacy problems in healthcare, specifically in India, are caused by prevalent complacency, culture, politics, budget limitations, large population, and existing infrastructures. This paper reviews the Indian healthcare system and the applications that drive it. Additionally, the paper also maps that how privacy issues are happening in every healthcare sector in India. Originality/Value: To understand these factors and gain insights, understanding Indian healthcare systems first is crucial. To the best of our knowledge, we found no recent papers that thoroughly reviewed the Indian healthcare system and its privacy issues. The paper is original in terms of its overview of the healthcare system and privacy issues. Social Implications: Privacy has been the most ignored part of the Indian healthcare system. With India being a country with a population of 130 billion, much healthcare data are generated every day. The chances of data breaches and other privacy violations on such sensitive data cannot be avoided as they cause severe concerns for individuals. This paper segregates the healthcare system’s advances and lists the privacy that needs to be addressed first.

“… Denial of Service Attack DoS: One of the most common network attacks, occurs by flooding the health care system with repeated, unwanted requests as the attacker pick up the network, allowing the attacker to capture the entire network. Therefore, legitimate users are not allowed to access their accounts or data in the health care system due to this attack that destroys access and overthrows the system (Priya et al, 2017).  SYN Attacks: An attack that occurs by exploiting the TCP three-way handshake when sending data, as more than one handshake request is sent, thus bypassing the limited buffer space and thus the target system ignores legitimate sent requests (Dogaru and Dumitrache, 2017).…”

The security of healthcare servers and their applications from unauthorized access and hacking effect of patient file safety as a result of missing or modified data. Therefore, it is necessary to protect those servers and health systems and to know the cyber weaknesses in them and other related services to prevent them before they occur and treat them if they occur as soon as possible to reach the highest level of security and confidentiality of patient data and their privacy in addition to the safety of systems from malfunctions as a result of the attack. This research revolves around the concept of penetration and the motives of the attackers, in addition to the methods of penetration and vulnerability with mentioning some common attacks and clarifying their method of operation, and determining their effects on the victim. The research also deals with the most important basics and requirements to achieve privacy and security for health systems at different levels, including systems, users, and devices, with some intrusion protection techniques mentioned, and some challenges and solutions will be discussed in addition to some security issues in general, the research aims to gain the best level of security and privacy in the infrastructure of health systems.
