Incident Response and Threat Intelligence in Healthcare: A Study on Cybersecurity Incident Management

India and other Asian nations are seeing an unparalleled pace of advancement in the modernisation of their healthcare systems. In this endeavour, information technology is crucial. Though the healthcare industry has made great progress, information security is still lagging behind the protection requirements attained in technologically developed nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom. This study is an honest attempt to pinpoint vulnerabilities and dangers in the field of cybersecurity and offers a few targeted remedies in three main domains: risks, vulnerabilities, and IoMT. Using a qualitative research methodology, this research culminates in the creation of a security maturity model for Indian healthcare. Furthermore, in light of these attacks, the well-known National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) risk assessment system and its guiding principles are examined. Evaluating the risks intrinsic to these hacks analytically becomes crucial given the comparatively low information risk management maturity levels in Asian healthcare organisations. While several nations in Asia and throughout the world are battling the COVID-19 outbreak, cybercriminals have been attempting to spread misinformation about vaccines. Additionally, some people and organisations are attempting to undermine specific vaccines in order to promote their COVID-19 treatments. Hacking research data, virus testing, and clinical studies that reveal side effects or possible issues are of particular interest to profit-seeking businesses. The secure methodology for identifying network attacks is suggested by this study.
