“…The adoption of a system level approach has tremendous potential where all elements of the sustainability IoT are considered such wireless communications and interaction with other things. For example, precision agriculture cybersecurity features should be implemented considering all farm equipment and privacy issues [1].…”

In the sustainability IoT, the cybersecurity risks to things, sensors, and monitoring systems are distinct from the conventional networking systems in many aspects. The interaction of sustainability IoT with the physical world phenomena (e.g., weather, climate, water, and oceans) is mostly not found in the modern information technology systems. Accordingly, actuation, the ability of these devices to make changes in real world based on sensing and monitoring, requires special consideration in terms of privacy and security. Moreover, the energy efficiency, safety, power, performance requirements of these device distinguish them from conventional computers systems. In this chapter, the cybersecurity approaches towards sustainability IoT are discussed in detail. The sustainability IoT risk categorization, risk mitigation goals, and implementation aspects are analyzed. The openness paradox and data dichotomy between privacy and sharing is analyzed. Accordingly, the IoT technology and security standard developments activities are highlighted. The perspectives on opportunities and challenges in IoT for sustainability are given. Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion of sustainability IoT cybersecurity case studies.

“…For Abraham et al (2019) the healthcare sector, in which cyber-attacks to the sector have increased by 125% in the last five years, is a vulnerable target. As an example, in the city of Los Angeles in the United States, a healthcare organization paid $17,000 in Bitcoin to a hacker who took control of their systems.…”

“…Still according to the same authors, a cyber-attack can result not only in the compromise of the data but also in the compromise of vital life-saving devices; therefore, it is essential that the healthcare sector realizes that the responsibility for cybersecurity is not only of the medical device manufacturers. In 2016, cyberattackers demanded approximately $3.6 million in Bitcoins to unlock the hospital's computers of the Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, California (Abraham, Chatterjee & Sims, 2019).…”

“…Various authors note that a possible cyber-attack is imminent; however, only 22% of healthcare organizations and 41% of medical equipment manufacturers have a cybersecurity risk management plan (Blanke & McGrady, 2016;Busdicker & Upendra, 2017), which represents a large gap in scientific and technological research. Abraham et al (2019), Natsiavas et al (2018), PMI (2017) and Ward and Chapman (2008) conclude that it is important to have a comprehensive risk management method that covers all stages of the risk management process, from risk identification to a possible response to that risk. Other approaches found in the literature emphasize the assessment and vulnerability of the identification of threats.…”

“…However, there is a lack of emphasis on sequencing actions after risk identification. Likewise, the authors point to the need to create a risk management plan for healthcare data security (Abraham et al, 2019;Kure, Islam & Razzaque, 2018).…”

Objective of the study: Statistics shows a worrisome picture of challenges to be overcome by cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. Data evidence that the healthcare industry experiences four data breaches per week in the United States alone, making it the sector most often affected by digital security breaches. Thus, the current article aims to investigate risk management focusing on identifying requirements and best practices for healthcare data security systems.Methodology/approach: It is based on a systematic literature review. Studies on state-of-the-art data security systems were collected and interpreted through content analysis. Assertive keywords, source-selection criteria, interpretation of selected articles, and database analysis were used to form the investigated sample and to represent the broad applications of this study’s objective.Originality/Relevance: The current study contributes to define a set of minimum requirements and best practices that can be adopted to manage data security risks in the healthcare sector and medical devices.Main results: Results have pointed out that there is no fully effective way to prevent all violations by cybercriminals; however, cybersecurity must be part of management processes adopted by different organizations.Theoretical/methodological contributions: It is found that cybersecurity has a great importance for the healthcare sector, the information generated is rich in content and that cybersecurity is neglected in the sector, that is not able to deal with the reality of cyber threats in the industry 4.0 context.Social /management contributions: By the good risk management practices and the adoption of minimum security items, institutions can ensure that managers can prepare and respond efficiently to cyber risks.
