Offensive and defensive cybersecurity solutions in healthcare

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Healthcare services usually implement defensive data strategies; however, offensive data strategies offer new opportunities because they focus on improving profitability or revenues. Offensive data also helps develop new medicine, diagnosis, and treatment due to the ease of data-sharing rather than data control or other restrictions. Balancing defensive data and offensive data is balancing data control and flexibility. It is a challenge to keep a balance between the two. Sometimes, it is necessary to favor one over the other, depending on the situation. A robust cybersecurity program is contingent on the availability of resources in healthcare organizations and the cybersecurity management staff. In this paper, a cybersecurity system with the functions of both defensive cybersecurity and offensive cybersecurity in a medical center is proposed based on big data, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML)/deep learning (DL).
