Abstract

This chapter explores the crucial responsibility of strengthening cybersecurity measures within the ever-changing context of contemporary healthcare systems. As digitalization gets ingrained in healthcare practices, sensitive medical data becomes increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The second portion explores the significant effects of cybersecurity breaches on the healthcare industry, focusing on patient safety issues, potential compromises of private health information, and the resulting harm to healthcare organizations' finances and reputations. The third segment examines compliance with laws like HIPAA and GDPR as it navigates the ethical and regulatory issues inherent in healthcare cybersecurity. It explores the moral conundrums raised by cybersecurity precautions, achieving a careful balance between patient confidentiality and data accessibility. The last section provides a forward-looking viewpoint by projecting upcoming difficulties and technological developments in healthcare cybersecurity.
