Detection and mitigation of cyber attacks in healthcare systems

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, the healthcare sector has been exposed to a new set of challenges, chief among them being the security of delicate patient data and the potential consequences of cyberattacks on healthcare systems. Healthcare organizations are often the main target because of the value of the patient data they own, making it critical for them to invest in robust cybersecurity measures to defend against these threats. This chapter focuses on healthcare cybersecurity and ways to detect ransomware, malware, denial of service attacks, and insider threats using security information and event management (SIEM), User and entity behavior analytic (UEBA), and security onion. The aim of this study is to look into the different methods of detecting healthcare threat techniques. In addition, we will provide insights into mitigation strategies.
