Sociotechnical Cybersecurity Framework for Securing Health Care From Vulnerabilities and Cyberattacks: Scoping Review

The conceptual framework of sociotechnical cybersecurity provides a contemporary foundation and deep insight for identifying and preventing vulnerabilities and responding to cyberattacks in health care systems. The framework is important due to its suitability, applicability, and customizability for dynamic and complex health care systems. The study also provides compliance standards for applying the proposed conceptual framework to guide health care organizations in cybersecurity practices. The study of cybersecurity through the sociotechnical lens in the health care domain is limited. Further studies are needed on cybersecurity incident management. Health care organizations should leverage the strength of cybersecurity through the implementation of risk assessment and incident response plans.
