Abstract
The public health sector cannot deliver efficient and safe patient care without digital interconnectivity among devices. If the healthcare system is connected, but insecure, the interconnectivity could betray patient safety, subjecting patients to uncalculated and unnecessary risks with insurmountable costs, including death. Our nation must realize the dangers imposed on patients due to the reliance on interconnectivity amongst devices and information systems. Healthcare delivery organizations are often seen and titled as safe places, places for healing, and places we trust. These entities are a repository for our most sacred personal information as well as a harbor for some of the most technologically advanced equipment; thus they have become easy targets for threat actors.Real cases of protected health information theft, ransomware, and targeted nation-state hacking prove that our nation's healthcare systems, data, devices, and reputation are vulnerable. This presentation aims at depicting the current state of cybersecurity in healthcare delivery organizations as well as at understanding the main threats organizations face, discussion the ecosystem, industry-specific pitfalls, and the patient health attack model.
