Healthcare Informatics Security Issues and Solutions Using Federated Learning
Sachin A. Goswami, Saurabh Dave, Kashyap Chaitanya Kumar Patel · 2024
This chapter investigates the complex security challenges that arise in healthcare informatics, with a particular emphasis on data protection and confidentiality. This demonstrates the need for encryption and restricting access to delicate medical information. Ransomware attacks and data breaches in the healthcare industry are among the cyber security dangers discussed in this study. Through the implementation of stringent cyber security standards, audits, and people training, the organization strives to increase security. The organization also considers interoperability and the exchange of confidential health information across different healthcare systems. We advise using standardized protocols and secure communication techniques to enhance data transfer and ensure its safety. It is possible to secure medical equipment from hackers by implementing stringent security standards, performing regular updates, and separating networks. Additionally, the research investigates how human factors and insider threats create vulnerabilities in healthcare informatics systems. As preventive measures, it emphasizes staff education, marketing that raises user awareness, and behavioral analytics. This study may assist healthcare professionals, policymakers, and academics in protecting patient data and ensuring the integrity of the system. As a result of the rising use of technology and the digitalization of healthcare data, the study concludes that it is necessary to comprehend and address the security concerns that are associated with healthcare informatics. Through the implementation of these measures, stakeholders are able to enrich the healthcare ecosystem.
