Abstract
This article emphasizes the importance of comprehensive cybersecurity education programs in the healthcare industry. The rapid development of technology in healthcare has brought numerous advantages, including electronic health records and telehealth services. However, these advancements also expose the healthcare industry to significant cybersecurity risks. The healthcare industry is an attractive target for cybercriminals due to the presence of sensitive personal and financial information. Current regulations, such as HIPAA and PIPEDA, are in place to protect patient information, but 95% of healthcare industry breaches result from human error. Healthcare organizations must prioritize robust cybersecurity measures and implement comprehensive education programs for all healthcare professionals. This article recommends tailoring educational content to different healthcare roles and incorporating ongoing learning and awareness as essential elements of cybersecurity education. Overall, it calls for a holistic approach to cybersecurity education in healthcare to protect patient information and mitigate cyberthreats.
