The importance of cybersecurity in healthcare, with a focus on safeguarding sensitive patient information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, cannot be overstated Security breaches in this sector can have significant consequences due to the widespread use of electronic health records (EHRs) and interconnected medical devices, creating opportunities for exploitation. This work presents a first step to analyzing and organizing healthcare-specific cybersecurity problems and existing security frameworks. Special focus is put on the security risks associated with data integration centers while recognizing their role as hubs for innovation.
医疗保健中的网络安全至关重要,重点是保护敏感患者信息免受未经授权的访问、使用或披露。由于电子健康记录 (EHR) 和互联医疗设备的广泛使用,该领域的安全漏洞可能会产生重大后果,为攻击者提供了可乘之机。这项工作是分析和组织特定于医疗保健的网络安全问题和现有安全框架的第一步。特别关注与数据集成中心相关的安全风险,同时认识到它们作为创新中心的作用。
