Significance of Cyber Security in Healthcare Systems

Abstract

The healthcare sector is one of the industries most vulnerable to cyberattacks. healthcare cybercrime is significantly expanding as it relates to healthcare services that are digitally enabled, and it aims to exploit security flaws and vulnerabilities. Technology improvements have exposed the healthcare sector to a wide range of extremely dangerous threats, such as ransomware. Ransomware, a sort of hack that targets both organisations and individual people, has become more prevalent recently as a result of its effective results. There has been a significant improvement in its disputes over the previous several years. The study includes answers as well as a complete overview of ransomware attacks. The main goal of this study is to classify the cyberattack defences employed by healthcare programmes to stop ransomware, such as blockchain and machine learning. Studies investigating information security, medical organisations, and security firms will all benefit scientifically from the study.
