Cybercriminals oftenchoose to target the systems within the healthcare system. This is because in this day and ageinformation has become a powerful currency. As a result, the healthcare sector has turned into agoldmine for hackers. Through health information technology, various critical life-savingfunctions are provided which are connected to networked systems which are responsible forleveraging wireless technologies. This means that these systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks.There have also been rising cases of ransomware attacks on hospitals where hackers divertpatient information making it inaccessible for doctors and nurses which consequently impedescare delivery (CISA, n.d). Moreover, cyberattacks by hackers can expose private patientinformation leading to significant financial costs in restoring control of the patient data and thegeneral hospital system. If proper measures are not taken to control and manage the issue, thehealthcare sector will be disrupted by cyber threats.The Assessment of Cyber Security in Healthcare SystemsThe assessment of cybersecurity risks is very important to health care organizations. Ithelps them to comprehend, mitigate, and have control over various types of cyber security risks(IDMWORKS, 2021). A risk assessment is important in informing cyber security choicesbecause it helps to save resources, effort, and time. It also helps to avoid data breaches, preventdata loss, and avoid regulatory data issues (Tunggal, 2021). In a cybersecurity risk assessment,the first step is to determine the value of the information. This helps in the classification ofinformation as either minor, major, or critical. The various information assets that are vulnerableto cyber-attacks are then identified and prioritized. Some of these assets include the hospital3hardware such as computers and laptops. They also include intellectual property and clientinformation. The cyber security risks that affect these assets are then identified (ITGOVERNANCE USA INC, 2021). These risks can either be system failure, human error, orthreats caused by adversaries such as third party vendors or privileged insiders. Afterward, thevulnerabilities are identified (Fulford, 2020). These vulnerabilities are assessed through hospitalaudit reports, vendor data, vulnerability databases, and incident response teams. The next step ofcyber security risk assessment is to select, analyze, and implement controls that help to treatunidentified risks.
