This comprehensive review explores the intricate relationship between security technologies and mental health. Security technologies, including physical security, cybersecurity, and surveillance measures, are integral components of our modern world, designed to protect individuals, organizations, and society from various threats. While they are vital in enhancing safety, they also have profound implications for mental well-being. The review delves into the positive impacts of security technologies, including their capacity to enhance personal safety, reduce anxiety and fear, and instill a sense of security. However, it also reveals the negative consequences, such as privacy invasion, surveillance-related stress, paranoia, and ethical concerns, which can erode mental health. User perception and trust are central to understanding how individuals experience security technologies. The review emphasizes the importance of ethical guidelines, user education, and technological advancements in mitigating negative impacts. By embracing an ethical-by-design approach, empowering users, and promoting public awareness, a balanced equilibrium between security and mental health can be achieved. The conclusion highlights the significance of ongoing research and interdisciplinary collaboration to navigate this intricate relationship effectively. By prioritizing ethical considerations and fostering a dialogue that values security and individual well-being, we can ensure a safer and more mentally healthy future in our technologically interconnected world.

“…The biggest incident reported in India affected Aadhaar and exposed one billion records in January 2018. This breach is categorized as in the medical sector by Neto et al [14], possibly due to its relation to health services [56], including vaccines [57], despite Aadhaar being a biometric database also used for demographic, financial, and welfare policy entitlement data [58]. According to the reference linked to the incident in the dataset, Aadhaar actually suffered multiple breaches between 2017 and 2018, which may be due to known vulnerabilities, such as cryptographic issues observed in the system [59].…”

Data breaches result in data loss, including personal, health, and financial information that are crucial, sensitive, and private. The breach is a security incident in which personal and sensitive data are exposed to unauthorized individuals, with the potential to incur several privacy concerns. As an example, the French newspaper Le Figaro breached approximately 7.4 billion records that included full names, passwords, and e-mail and physical addresses. To reduce the likelihood and impact of such breaches, it is fundamental to strengthen the security efforts against this type of incident and, for that, it is first necessary to identify patterns of its occurrence, primarily related to the number of data records leaked, the affected geographical region, and its regulatory aspects. To advance the discussion in this regard, we study a dataset comprising 428 worldwide data breaches between 2018 and 2019, providing a visualization of the related statistics, such as the most affected countries, the predominant economic sector targeted in different countries, and the median number of records leaked per incident in different countries, regions, and sectors. We then discuss the data protection regulation in effect in each country comprised in the dataset, correlating key elements of the legislation with the statistical findings. As a result, we have identified an extensive disclosure of medical records in India and government data in Brazil in the time range. Based on the analysis and visualization, we find some interesting insights that researchers seldom focus on before, and it is apparent that the real dangers of data leaks are beyond the ordinary imagination. Finally, this paper contributes to the discussion regarding data protection laws and compliance regarding data breaches, supporting, for example, the decision process of data storage location in the cloud.

“…People with mental illnesses must have their digital data privacy protected in order to lessen the likelihood that they will be stigmatized, judged, or face other negative outcomes in their personal or professional connections. [20] Biometric and demographic data stored in a central database, such as under the Aadhaar system, can pose a significant threat to the data privacy of individuals with potentially stigmatizing conditions like behavioral health disorders The use of artificial intelligence in digital solutions, including health interventions, can further complicate the situation and potentially compromise data privacy. Patient exclusion in the development of artificial intelligence systems in mental health research and clinical practice is a common issue.…”
