Abstract -
Healthcare is a rapidly growing sector and an active research area which allows doctors to access patients remotely. Today’s healthcare automation problem requires different methods to address the issues in security. Both the patient’s information and IT infrastructure should be protected. Healthcare automation systems are facing more and more security threads that causes loss or damage of data. As a Risk Analysis and Requirements expert, I understand that IT data requirements is also one of the most valuable assets to a pharmaceutical or healthcare company. Data is key to the whole clinical development process. Without clean data, the value of a project, drug or product may not be fully realized. There are many solutions which reduces vulnerability in health care systems so that it becomes impossible for hackers to compromise the system. If vulnerabilities in the system are not identified, defects become extremely expensive and burdensome to fix and can escalate to critical risk, fast. [16] This paper focuses on critical health care security risks and gives few solutions to overcome and control them.
