Data is the new oil. Data has the highest value in black market and healthcare sector has the highest amount of data in the form of patient information. The healthcare sector is poor in securely managing the data and cyber attackers leverage on this information to steal the same through phishing, ransomware and other methods. Phishing is the most common cybercrime in healthcare. In ransomware attacks, malware is injected into a system through phishing emails to encrypt sensitive data and demand ransom to restore access to the system. Insider threats are very tough to detect and prevent. Healthcare institutions have now realised these shortcomings and have adopted various cybersecurity methods and frameworks to protect them from heavy losses. Cybersecurity in healthcare can be improved by various ways such as encryption, network segmentation, employee training and regular security assessment. All cybersecurity strategies should incorporate the 5 C’s-change, compliance, cost, continuity, coverage. Cybersecurity frameworks provide a structured approach to managing and mitigating cyber risks. During COVID 19 the healthcare sector was affected both workwise and digitally because of increased cyber attacks.
