People, not software, pose bigger risk to health care cybersecurity, says researcher

A new doctoral dissertation from the University of Vaasa, Finland, argues that health care cybersecurity will remain fragile unless technology, humans and organizational processes are treated as a single unified system. According to doctoral researcher Pius Ewoh, the health care sector needs socio-technical solutions rather than purely technical defenses to protect patient data and maintain trust.
