Article #2 and Cyber Victimization in the Healthcare Industry
Introduction
The relation to social science principles
Without the protection of cyber security on Health care it would be hard for the organization to function and their pockets would be hurting even more. The reason healthcare relates to the principles of social science is because they use methods and research to define their disciplines. Healthcare around the world knows that they are one of the biggest targets and they can lose lots of money and patients.
The Method used
The method they use is they use a website that will show the past hackers attack and collect the data to train and have a clear understanding on the hackers motivation and the outcomes. Hackmageddon was the website used for healthcare to have a more understanding of the attacks. With them using the website they collect the data by using a codebook. The code book was used to regularly document and update all emerging cyber threats.
Type of data
In the article (Praveen, Y. , Kim, M. & Choi, K. #12)it gives data collected from 2018 to 2023 saying that the biggest known attack in the healthcare business is ransomware with 40.1%. That is a big percentage for an attack. The reason it’s because the hackers take patients’ data and the only way you can get it back is if you pay a ransom. Lots of the low income healthcare businesses use third party protection, so it can be a big risk in getting your data leaked.When reading an article (Olsen2024)about the biggest ransomware attack on healthcare, it was in 2015 on UnitedHealth which resulted in 78.8 million worth of customer information. Healthcare is now spending 125 billion dollars in cyber security. They wanna make sure they can keep all their patient data privacy and find new ways to stop and detect the threats.
The concept of powerpoint
the concept of the powerpoints presentations relate to the article is because it made sure to show data and gave brief understanding on the main topics.social science plays a big role in the healthcare cyber protection. If they know how hackers move from previous attacks it will become more easy and simple to counter attack. If they shoot phishing emails, let’s make sure we send frequent emails to all patient and two way authentication for each patient account data.
The concerns
the concerns of the victimization in healthcare is that they never know what new attacks they have up their sleeve so a lot of patients are sometimes scared that at anypoint there privacy and be leaked. So having trust in the company protection will have a bigger role on healthcare providers. They wanna be the best, they gotta have the best protection. The contribution of the studies of society in healthcare is the research of their companies price, protection and the knowledge of diseases. With everybody doing their research they wanna make sure wherever they join they want to regret it.
Conclusion
Healthcare providers put billions in protection to make sure they can protect everyone’s information and also learn how to keep protecting.without protection it will be nearly impossible to have a running company and keep patients.
