ABSTRACT:
One of the major concerns of this electronic world is the need to develop innovations in the field of health care cybersecurity. Data reveals that the first ransom attack was reported to be in the year 1989, which was quickly mitigated because of its simplicity1. But 2020 ransomware attacks appear to be more complicated with the sophisticated tool that helps the third-party or cyber attackers to hide from undetected breach detectors. Here arises the need to be aware on the topic and measures to prevent it. This article shall provide a brief knowledge regarding cybersecurity in health care system, threats and pointout some measures to prevent it.
