Introduction
Augusta Medical Hospital, like many healthcare organizations, faces significant cybersecurity challenges in protecting sensitive patient data and ensuring the integrity of its systems. As the healthcare industry increasingly relies on technology, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures grows. Effective cybersecurity is crucial to safeguard patient information and maintain trust in healthcare services.
According to Al-Gburi et al., employee awareness and training are critical components of an organization's cybersecurity posture. Sengupta et al. emphasizes the importance of integrating security into the software development lifecycle to mitigate web application vulnerabilities.
This discussion will focus on developing a digital cybersecurity infographic to educate employees on best practices, covering topics such as internet use risks, data protection, and web application security.
Risk Implications of Internet Use
The widespread adoption of internet-connected devices poses significant risks to Augusta Medical Hospital's cybersecurity. The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces vulnerabilities through connected medical devices, such as infusion pumps and patient monitors, which can be exploited by hackers [1]. Additionally, the hospital's intellectual property, including sensitive patient data and medical research, is at risk of cyber theft or compromise.
Internet use by employees can lead to phishing attacks, malware infections, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Mobile devices used by healthcare professionals to access patient data or communicate with colleagues can be lost, stolen, or compromised by
