Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

The healthcare industry is rapidly becoming a prime target for cyberattacks due to its reliance on interconnected systems, sensitive data, and life-critical technologies. As more medical devices and electronic health records (EHRs) become digitized, understanding the unique cybersecurity challenges within this sector is essential. This course introduces the key differences between traditional IT environments and healthcare IT, highlighting the specialized threats and vulnerabilities that medical institutions face. It’s designed to equip learners with the knowledge required to identify, assess, and mitigate cybersecurity risks in healthcare systems.

This course begins with an exploration of the healthcare IT environment, contrasting it with traditional IT setups, and includes real-world cyberattack scenarios and hands-on labs. It then delves into the attack surface of healthcare organizations, particularly focusing on implantable and internal medical devices and the vulnerabilities they expose. The third section addresses connected medical devices, examining regulatory guidance, communication protocols, and attack scenarios with mitigation strategies. Finally, the course discusses cybercrime in healthcare, especially concerning the exploitation and trade of EHRs, and how hackers profit from these vulnerabilities.

By the end of this course, you’ll understand healthcare-specific cyber threats and how to mitigate them across devices, systems, and data infrastructures.
