Abstract
Introduction. The digitalisation of healthcare systems has led to a rapid proliferation of cybersecurity threats that directly affect everyday clinical practice. Electronic health records, networked medical devices, and telemedicine platforms have become integral to modern medicine while simultaneously representing potential attack surfaces. Clinicians make daily decisions with data security implications, and inadequate training leaves them particularly vulnerable.
Threats and vulnerabilities. Ransomware attacks that paralyse hospital systems, phishing campaigns targeting clinical staff, attacks on medical Internet of Things devices, and software supply chain compromise are the most prevalent threats in the contemporary healthcare environment. Each carries direct consequences for patient safety and continuity of care. Clinician roles and advanced technologies. Clinical staff represent both the most frequent point of system compromise and the most important line of defence. Advanced technologies including artificial intelligence based threat detection, blockchain data integrity, and federated learning offer emerging solutions, but require strategic institutional commitment for successful deployment.
Conclusion. Cybersecurity is not exclusively an information technology matter – it is an integral component of medical ethics and responsibility towards patients. Its routine integration into clinical practice requires education, clear institutional procedures, and adequate resources.
