Cybersecurity 
Continues To Be A 
Major Concern
z The Healthcare industry is going through a lot of 
technological advancement and adopting various 
electronic measures for availing the best 
healthcare services. As a result of this digital 
transformation, electronic data becomes the 
lifeblood of healthcare cybersecurity. Electronic 
data, in the healthcare context, consists of 
patients’ medical reports, and personal details that 
must be kept confidential, integrity must be 
preserved, and it must be made available on-
demand wherever and whenever it is needed. This 
electronic environment has also added a lot of 
cybersecurity threats to the safety of sensitive 
data and information of the patients mentioned 
below-
Cyberattack prone 
medical devices
z Healthcare cybersecurity becomes a major concern 
now as a lot of hospitals have various types of 
specialized hospital information systems such as 
practice management support systems, EHR 
systems, e-prescribing systems, radiology 
information systems, clinical decision support 
systems, and computerized physician order entry 
systems. Also, there are a lot of medical devices 
that are comprised under the Internet of Things 
that need to be secured from any cyber attack. If 
these devices are open to such cyber threats then 
the business of healthcare and clinical care can 
grind to a halt. Aligning cybersecurity with 
healthcare facilitates the delivery of quality care 
eliminating any disruptions that can cause 
negative impacts on the clinical outcomes.
Leakage of sensitive 
information
z Healthcare cybersecurity can not be 
overlooked because there is a high level of 
vulnerability and is usually targeted by cyber 
thieves, as they consist of the high-monetary 
and intelligence value information. The 
targeted data includes financial information 
like credit card and bank account numbers, 
patients’ protected health information (PHI), 
personally identifying information (PII) such as 
Social Security numbers, and intellectual 
property related to medical research and 
innovation.
 Need trained and educated 
healthcare staff members
z The most important defense against such 
cyber threats is to instill a patient safety-
focused culture of cybersecurity. This 
strengthen health care firms to look after 
their culture of patient care to impart a 
high quality cybersecurity. A culture of 
healthcare cybersecurity, where the staff 
members view themselves as proactive 
defenders of patients and their data, will 
have a tremendous impact on mitigating 
cyber risk to the organization and 
patients.
