Digital technology is increasingly used in the healthcare sector, and healthcare organizations handle sensitive and confidential information that needs to be kept secure and protected. Therefore, the importance of cybersecurity in healthcare cannot be overstated. Cyber threats can compromise patient data, disrupt healthcare services, and put personal safety at risk. This book provides an understanding of cybersecurity in healthcare, which is crucial for protecting personal information, ensuring compliance with regulations, maintaining patient trust, and preventing cyber-attacks. Before defining cybersecurity in healthcare, the authors introduce the healthcare environment and cybersecurity basics to readers. They then emphasize the importance of data protection and privacy, software, and personal cybersecurity. Also, they highlight the importance of educating staff about cybersecurity. The discussion continues with data and information security in healthcare, including data threats and vulnerabilities, the difference between data protection and privacy, and how to protect data. Afterward, they focus on the software system frameworks and types of infra-security and app security in healthcare. A key goal of this book is to provide readers with an understanding of how to detect and prevent cyber-attacks in the healthcare sector and how to respond to and recover from them. Moreover, it gives them an insight into cybersecurity vulnerabilities in healthcare and how they are mitigated. A chapter on cybersecurity ethics and healthcare data governance frameworks is also included in the book. The last chapter explores the challenges healthcare organizations face in maintaining security compliance and security practice guidelines that exist. By understanding the risks and challenges of cybersecurity in healthcare, healthcare providers and organizations can better protect sensitive and confidential data and ensure the safety and privacy of those they serve.

Analyses cybersecurity in healthcare systems from several perspectives Neuro-divergent friendly includes infographics, diagrams, tables, and other visual aids Provides background context on common healthcare security for readers who may not have a healthcare background
