Privacy Issues

Cloud computing has been massively adopted in healthcare, where it attracts economic, operational, and functional advantages beneficial to insurance providers. However, according to Identity Theft Resource Centre, over twenty-five percent of data breaches in the US targeted healthcare. The HIPAA Journal reported an increase in healthcare data breaches in the US in 2016, exposing over 16 million health records. The growing incidents of cyberattacks in healthcare are compelling insurance providers to implement mitigating controls. Addressing data security and privacy issues before cloud adoption protects from monetary and reputation losses. This article provides an assessment tool for health insurance providers when adopting cloud vendor solutions. The final deliverable is a proposed framework derived from prominent cloud computing and governance sources, such as the Cloud Security Alliance, Cloud Control Matrix (CSA, CCM) v 3.0.1 and COBIT 5 Cloud Assurance.

Objective of the study: Statistics shows a worrisome picture of challenges to be overcome by cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. Data evidence that the healthcare industry experiences four data breaches per week in the United States alone, making it the sector most often affected by digital security breaches. Thus, the current article aims to investigate risk management focusing on identifying requirements and best practices for healthcare data security systems.Methodology/approach: It is based on a systematic literature review. Studies on state-of-the-art data security systems were collected and interpreted through content analysis. Assertive keywords, source-selection criteria, interpretation of selected articles, and database analysis were used to form the investigated sample and to represent the broad applications of this study’s objective.Originality/Relevance: The current study contributes to define a set of minimum requirements and best practices that can be adopted to manage data security risks in the healthcare sector and medical devices.Main results: Results have pointed out that there is no fully effective way to prevent all violations by cybercriminals; however, cybersecurity must be part of management processes adopted by different organizations.Theoretical/methodological contributions: It is found that cybersecurity has a great importance for the healthcare sector, the information generated is rich in content and that cybersecurity is neglected in the sector, that is not able to deal with the reality of cyber threats in the industry 4.0 context.Social /management contributions: By the good risk management practices and the adoption of minimum security items, institutions can ensure that managers can prepare and respond efficiently to cyber risks.

Health Data Security

With the remarkable development of internet technologies, the popularity of smart healthcare has regularly come to the fore. Smart healthcare uses advanced technologies to transform the traditional medical system in an all-round way, making healthcare more efficient, more convenient, and more personalized. Unfortunately, medical data security is a serious issue in the smart healthcare systems. It becomes a fundamental challenge that requires the development of efficient innovative strategies towards fulfilling the healthcare needs and supporting secure healthcare transfer and delivery. This article provides a comprehensive survey on state-of-the-art techniques for health data security and their new trends for solving challenges in real-world applications. We survey the various notable cryptography, biometrics, watermarking, and blockchain-based security techniques for healthcare applications. A comparative analysis is also performed to identify the contribution of reviewed techniques in terms of their objective, methodology, type of medical data, important features, and limitations. At the end, we discuss the open issues and research directions to explore the promising areas for future research.
