I. Introduction
Traditional healthcare infrastructure has completely transformed with the significant progress of technological advancement. Involvement of a wide range of software, hardware, and networking technologies have created the opportunity to provide security in medical data and devices, better user experience and other features of the healthcare sector. In the current era, healthcare falls under fundamental need of every human being. To ensure healthcare for everyone Worldwide, affordable, and secure services must be provided through the use of technology. However, the significant increase of the dependency on automated systems for medical data exchange has led to the occurrence of security attacks. Several cyber security attacks have been observed in recent years. Due to cyber security attacks,the second-largest health insurance company of U. S. called Anthem Inc. has suffered consequences like compromising 80 million individuals' personal information in 2015 [46]. In 2017, the WannaCry ransomware attack affected more than 200,000 computers across 150 countries in many government organisations, companies, universities, hospitalsby locking all the computers and demanded a ransom payment [47]. Similarly, in May 2021, the Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) was targeted by a ransomware attack which significantly disrupted the medical services of Ireland by stealing and encrypting data, followed by a demand for a $20 million Bitcoin ransom to release the data [48]. These incidents represent the serious consequences of cyber security attacks on patient data privacy and the integrity of medical services.
