With the world moving toward a digital future, new technologies and digital tools for communication over the internet are also emerging. This is also the case for the healthcare industry, where electronic healthcare technology is being used widely throughout the world and has the potential to significantly improve clinical outcomes and alter the way treatment is delivered. But this quickly technological advancements also put patient confidentiality at risk. As more patient data is gathered, concerns regarding the security of medical records and health data are growing, and the confidentiality of patient information is at risk. The increased connectivity of medical equipment to modern computer networks has made it more vulnerable to new cyber security threats. Cyber criminals find the healthcare industry to be an alluring target due to two factors: an abundance of valuable data and inadequate defenses. In order to protect patients’ private information, healthcare organizations must understand how breaches and vulnerabilities occur, what that means for them, and how important it is to strengthen information technology (IT) systems in order to protect them from attacks.
