Cybersecurity in Healthcare: IOT Security for Medical Devices

In the rapidly evolving Internet of Things (IoT) era, the healthcare sector’s fast embrace of digital technology and connected medical devices has revealed hitherto unknown prospects for improved patient care and operational efficiency. However, the digital revolution has resulted in an increase in cybersecurity vulnerabilities unique to the healthcare business. To maintain the safety of patient data and medical equipment, this study proposal, Cybersecurity in Healthcare: Securing Patient Data and Medical Devices, explores the primary cybersecurity challenges threatening patient data integrity. This study suggests a number of methods focused on protecting personal health information and preventing unauthorized access to connected medical devices. These include in-depth security assessments of medical equipment, secure communication protocols, the development of privacy-preserving data handling policies, and proactive steps to prevent insider threats and phishing schemes. This study intends to protect patient privacy, reinforce medical infrastructure, and eventually improve the quality and security of healthcare services by improving cybersecurity in healthcare.
