The book responds to the realities of cybersecurity in the context of healthcare. It examines the effects of a sector where the pervasiveness and proliferation of various eHealth innovations have created a threat domain wherein policy and regulation struggles to keep pace with development and technical capacity is largely deficient.
The modern realities of cybersecurity have uncovered the unpreparedness of many sectors and industries to deal with emerging threats. One of these sectors is the healthcare industry. The pervasiveness and proliferation of digital innovation, systems, and applications in global healthcare, especially powered by modern information and communications technologies, have created a threat domain wherein policy and regulation struggle to keep pace with development, standardization faces contextual challenges, and technical capacity is largely deficient.
It is now urgent that healthcare professionals understand the most relevant concepts and fundamentals of global cybersecurity related to healthcare (particularly eHealth). Cybersecurity for eHealth: A Practical Guide for Non-Technical Healthcare Stakeholders & Practitioners combines a rigorous academic and practical professional approach in covering the essentials of cybersecurity. This book
Distills foundational knowledge and presents it in a concise manner that is easily assimilated
Draws lessons from real-life case studies across the global healthcare industry to drive home complex concepts, principles, and insights
Helps eHealth professionals to deal more knowledgeably and effectively with the realities of cybersecurity
Written for healthcare professionals without a background in the technical workings of information and communication technologies, this book presents the basics of cybersecurity and an overview of eHealth.
