Problem Statement The subject is a cybersecurity solution fo.pdfSUNIL64154
Problem Statement
The subject is a cybersecurity solution for a major hospital, identified as Big City Hospital. The
hospital uses a variety of IT systems connected via a hospital local area network (LAN) to create a
hospital information enterprise. The enterprise interacts with external organizations and users via
the public Internet. This IT environment is used to manage:
Patient records and related data.
Pharmacy data on drug inventories, dispensing, ordering, disposal, etc.
Medical supplies data, including inventories, usage, and ordering.
Scheduling of operating theaters, treatment facilities, and other shared facilities, equipment, and
resources.
Staff records, including medical professionals, affiliated providers, administrative staff, and
maintenance staff.
Food service operations, including a cafeteria and room service for patients.
General operations data such as building and equipment maintenance, janitorial services, non-
medical supplies, telecommunications and net-work services, etc.
Much of the hospitals data is highly sensitive. Patient information is protected by public law (e.g.
HIPAA), and other personal data requires a high level of protection. Pharmacy data can be stolen
or corrupted as part of the theft of expensive drugs for illegal resale. Personal data on staff
members is also subject to theft, including identity theft. Other data requires various levels of
protection based on its sensitivity. Corruption, hostile encryption, or deletion of patient records has
major implications for their care and thus raises a serious safety concern.
Threats to these information assets can arise from the full spectrum of Threat Agents. A particular
concern of the health care industry is ransomware attacks, in which the attacker gains access to
data repositories, encrypts them, and demands payment to provide the key to decrypt the files.
Organized crime is known to be using stolen drugs as a major source of revenue. Hackers,
disgruntled current or former employees, and others may attempt to breach the hospital enterprise
for a variety of reasons. Insiders, both malicious and inadvertent, are involved in many attack
scenarios.
The hospitals owners and executives have promulgated a security policy with the following key
features:
Business Security Objectives the following represent the acceptable level of residual risk after
security controls are implemented:
No more than one data breach per year of any kind.
Probability of exposure of Most Sensitive data < 1% per year (1 exposure every 100 years).
System Availability > 98%.
IT Security Policy the following specific security measures will be implemented as part of an
overall balanced and operationally effective cybersecurity solution:
Strong Authentication maximize confidentiality by minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to
resources.
Mandatory Access Control all sensitive assets will have explicit access permissions.
Role-Based Fine-Grained Authorizations/Access Permissions each di.
Keeping up with tech trends can be difficult, especially when it comes to healthcare — an industry that’s fast-evolving, notoriously complex, and shouldering an ever higher demand — but it is crucial.
Here’s an overview of the tech trends that are having the greatest impact on small to mid-sized practices, along with input from Staples Business Advantage Director of Healthcare Technology, James Clarke, on the importance of keeping pace.

Let's Talk About It: Breast Cancer (What is Mindset and Does it Really Matter?)
Cyber security
1. HOW TO BE “CYBERSAFE” DURING PANDEMIC
Cyber attacks on hospitals and health systems during pandemic have been increased rapidly, cyber
attacks can affect critical aspects of hospitals that lay over the computer network. Hospitals may suffer
from ransomware attacks data theft, gain unauthorized access to a computer system, and even fraud.
Also, they suffer from insufficient security resources, legacy systems, and multiple operational systems.
HIPPA Compliance has some basic guidelines on how the network should be set up. The malicious report
is increased in the Covid-19 period. There are some possible ways to be cybercafe during this pandemic.
IMPROVE COMMUNICATION
Peoples should be aware of cyber attacks and the risk related to that issue. Also knowing about the best
practices will help them out from cyber attacks. Patient’s information and data are a more important
thing to be kept under a secured panel. Hence there must follow the proper policies.
FOLLOW HIPPA
HIPPA is considered one of the strongest security standards in the world. Health care industries must
follow the Policies and guidelines which are stated in HIPPA. And use two-factor authentication where
ever possible for both hospitals and patients.
SECURE E-MAILS
Remote workers as well as hospital networks ensure all your e-mails are secured so that there will not
be any span on your mails. Passwords must be strong and unique. And ensure that your system has anti-
virus software installed. Always keep the anti-virus software up-to-date. Only open emails from trusted
sources. Don’t save any passwords.
2. Use Virtual private network /cloud-based services like web-based EHR software, web-based EMR
software, and practice management software. And remove unnecessary patient information on that
software like EHR software.
PREPARE FOR RESPONSE PLAN
Be prepared for the response plan. What if your organization attacked? Hospitals and healthcare
industries must be aware of the response plan. In case if your system is freeze or you find any unusual
activity in your system immediately remove the external drive or medical device. Always have a backup
of data far away from your system you are currently using.
Cyber attacks can affect hospital and clinical operations and there might be a higher chance of data
theft. It is important that healthcare organizations place cyber security on a higher pedestal than ever.
There must be centralized security with efficient detection for all the activities. Healthcare organizations
can give the top priority to the security partners works in the direction of compliance.
