Abstract

Healthcare organizations across the globe are increasingly adopting digital technologies such
as electronic records, connected medical devices, and telemedicine platforms. While these
innovations improve efficiency and patient care, they also expose the sector to growing cyber
risks. Cybersecurity in healthcare extends beyond data protection—it plays a vital role in
maintaining patient safety and trust. This study examines the primary cybersecurity threats
facing healthcare, their potential consequences, and modern defense strategies. It also
highlights emerging trends and technologies shaping the future of healthcare security.
