Using Generative AI for Cybersecurity Awareness Training in Healthcare

Generative AI (GAI) tools have recently become available for broad public use, and the use of AI-augmented systems is on the rise. Simultaneously, the healthcare sector is experiencing a notable increase in cyberattacks, resulting in the need to ramp up cybersecurity awareness among healthcare personnel. This industry-university partnership aims to improve cybersecurity training effectiveness and outcomes in a regional hospital system in the USA. Our proposed solution is to build and evaluate a GAI-driven training environment that could be used in cybersecurity awareness training (GAI CAT). Using the baseline models of the AI industry and augmenting those with healthcare-focused cybersecurity information, we aim to make cybersecurity awareness more effective, interactive, and user-driven. Differences in knowledge retention and engagement with training will be measured and reported in a hospital setting.
