Abstract
In today’s world, because of technological advancement, it is extremely important to safeguard the data from the dark web and the cybercriminals. The healthcare data that is collected and analyzed online is in jeopardy. The task of the data handler is to ensure that the patient’s information given to any healthcare organization is kept confidential so that their data is kept safe and secure. The information security and privacy are involved in the different phases like collection, usage, storage and transmission of the data especially with respect to Personal Health Information. With the advent of new technologies and because most of the devices are connected over the Internet and the data stored in cloud-based platforms, data could be compromised by the cybercriminals. It is about how well the data is protected and the confidentiality of the data is maintained. In this chapter, the challenges, threats, and concerns with respect to healthcare data and the solutions to the problems are looked at. Here we try and understand how these issues are handled by the various technology industries by looking at the several case studies in this area of healthcare and how the integrity of the data is maintained.
