Abstract
Information Technology has become a key component of many sectors in today's world, and healthcare is a prime example. However the increase in IT, particularly among healthcare businesses which are now identified as a major target area, has increased sensitivity to cyber threats. There is a variety of vital data stored in such facilities, including private and possibly financial information about patients. An analysis of the risks and threats to these institutions is presented in this paper. The study is based on the results of a survey involving several healthcare professionals from various healthcare establishments in Portugal. It aims to draw attention to the current state of healthcare cybersecurity and evaluate its possible risks, as well as how best to mitigate them. This in depth analysis, aiming at contributing significantly to the conversation on the cybersecurity of healthcare and eventually improving patient data security and integrity against increasing cyber threats, would be a major step forward.
