Classification of Challenges and Threats in Healthcare Cybersecurity: A Systematic Review.

The rapid development of electronic health has highlighted the essential position information security holds today in the healthcare industry. Indeed, healthcare organisations have increasingly become targets for cyberattacks. The authors investigated cybersecurity challenges through identifying cases within the academic literature related to cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities present within healthcare settings. The fast adoption of healthcare information systems has exposed the healthcare industry to numerous kinds of cyberattacks, thereby prompting the international academic community to investigate these threats. There are various cybersecurity challenges and vulnerabilities within healthcare that could later be exploited and lead to cybercrimes. As security systems continue to develop, the interest in cybersecurity as a form of defense and protection is expected to grow.
