Cybersecurity in the Era of Big Medical Data

The rapid development of digital technologies in healthcare has resulted in the accumulation and use of substantial amounts of medical data. The introduction of electronic medical records, medical decision support systems, and telemedicine services, as well as integration with national digital platforms, create new opportunities to improve the quality and availability of medical care. However, there has also been a major increase in information security risks associated with unauthorized access to medical systems, including attempts to hack data storage and processing systems, violations of the confidentiality of patients’ personal information through leaks of medical records, as well as targeted cyberattacks on medical institutions, all of which create real threats to the safety of patients and the healthcare system as a whole. What systemic measures are needed to ensure the comprehensive protection of healthcare information systems against modern cyberthreats? What regulatory mechanisms need to be created and introduced on a priority basis to comply with international cybersecurity standards in the medical sector? What technological solutions are the most promising for creating a trustworthy digital environment in healthcare? What industry experience in introducing cybersecurity systems could be recommended for replication at medical institutions? What strategic focuses should be a priority for domestic healthcare in terms of developing secure digital infrastructure?
