Securing the Hyperconnected Healthcare Ecosystem

Resumen

Digitalization across the healthcare industry is improving the quality and personalization of the services provided to patients. Currently, we are observing great advances in aspects such as doctor-patient coordination, real-time health monitoring, communication between different specialist, or administrative tasks automation, among others. However, this hyperconnectivity also brings important challenges related to the cyber-security of the critical eHealth infrastructures. Privacy concerns, intrusion detection, secure data exchange, etc. are crucial factors that should be addressed when designing digital healthcare platforms. In this chapter, a wide overview of the cyber-security landscape in the eHealth sector is presented, emphasizing the biggest challenges to be faced during the next years. Then, as the main contribution of this work, it is proposed a holistic cyber-security platform that tackles privacy and security risks in an automated fashion to foster the development of innovative applications within the healthcare ecosystem.
