Abstract:
The current world challenges include issues such as infectious disease pandemics, environmental health risks, food safety, and crime prevention. Through this article, a special emphasis is given to one of the main challenges in the healthcare sector during the COVID ‐ pandemic, the cyber risk. Since the beginning of the Covid ‐ pandemic, the World
Health
Organization has detected a dramatic increase in the number of cyber ‐ attacks. For instance, in Italy the
COVID ‐ emergency has heavily affected cybersecurity; from January to April the total of attacks, accidents, and violations of privacy to the detriment of companies and individuals has doubled. Using a systematic and rigorous approach, this paper aims to analyze the literature on the cyber risk in the healthcare sector to understand the real knowledge on this topic. The findings highlight the poor attention of the scientific community on this topic, except in the United
States.
The literature lacks research contributions to support cyber risk management in subject areas such as Business,
Management and
Accounting;
Social
Science; and
Mathematics.
This research outlines the need to empirically investigate the cyber risk, giving a practical solution to health facilities. Keywords: cyber risk; cyber ‐ attack; cybersecurity; computer security; COVID ‐ coronavirus; information technology risk; risk management; risk assessment; health facilities; healthcare sector; systematic literature review; insurance Introduction
This paper presents a systematic literature review on cyber risk in the healthcare sector. The risk is defined as the combined probability of an unwanted event and its level of impact. It is described as a function of the probability that a given source of threat exerts a potential vulnerability and the consequent impact of this adverse event on the organization [1]. Cyber risk, also known as information technology risk, is the new management challenge of the third millennium; it affects the information and technology assets of organizations [2]. Scholars define cyber risk in different ways: “the risk involved with a malicious electronic event that disrupts business and monetary loss” [3,4], “the risk is an inherent part of a business and public life” [5], or “the risk failing information systems” [6]. The term “cyber” is referred to the cyberspace, an interactive domain composed of all digital networks used to store, modify, and communicate information. It includes all information systems used to support businesses, infrastructures, and services [7]. We here define cyber risk as “operational risks to information and technology assets that have consequences affecting the confidentiality, availability, or integrity of information or information systems” [8]. Numerous examples of cyber risks can be made; for instance, theft, disclosure of sensitive information, and business interruption [7]. Any device connected to the Internet is subject to cyber ‐ attack [2]. Since the beginning of the millennium, scholars have investigated the “cyber risk”. For instance, in the largest scientific database, Elsevier’s
Scopus, the first publication dates back to instead, ustainability , , of when typing “cyber risk”, around documents are included in July
Through this article, a special emphasis is given to the cyber risk is becoming a dangerous hazard during the COVID ‐ pandemic. As written by the World
Health
Organization, the number of cyber ‐ attacks is now more than five times than of the same period last year [9]. This growing trend has put in serious difficulty the healthcare sector, revealing a huge risk for all health processes. Although the sources of operational cybersecurity risk can be derived from the actions of people, systems and technology failures, failed internal processes, and external events, during the COVID ‐ pandemic, the main cyber risks have derived from the action of people and systems and technology failures. Action of people is referred to as “action, or lack of action, taken by people either deliberately or accidentally that impact cybersecurity” [8]. This source of operational risk includes actions of people such as Inadvertent (mistakes, errors, omissions), deliberate (fraud, sabotage, theft, vandalism), and inaction (skills, knowledge, guidance, and availability).
Systems and technology failures are referred to as issues that are abnormal or unexpected that hit technology assets [8]. This source of operational risk includes systems and technology failures such as hardware (capacity, performance, maintenance, and obsolescence), software (compatibility, configuration management, change control, security settings, coding practices, and testing), and system (design, specifications, integration, and complexity). To contain cyber risks, the health facilities must implement an efficient risk management processes. This process must support the health facility to reach the organization’s aims. Risk management is a continuous process that depends directly on the changes in the internal and external environment of the organization [5]. Using a systematic and rigorous approach, the paper aims to analyze the literature on the cyber risk in the healthcare sector to highlight the real knowledge on this topic. First, it analyzes the main bibliometric information on cyber risk to understand the main publication trend on this topic. Second, it classifies the documents identified according to the main risk dealt with. The findings illustrate that not enough studies on cyber risk in the healthcare sector. This sector needs innovative managerial solutions to face cyber ‐ attacks, especially after the COVID ‐ pandemic. The article is organized as follows. Firstly, it introduces the materials and methods this research used to collect and analyze the literature. Secondly, it reveals and discusses the main results of this study. The last section summarizes the contributions, implications, and limitations of this research. Materials and
Methods To realize a rigorous systematic literature review, we followed the guideline suggested by Tranfield et al. (2003). As already used by other authors [10–12], to make the literature review replicable, transparent, and scientific, we adopted the five stages suggested by Tranfield et al. (2003). Although there are many approaches to carry out a systematic literature review, we adopted the approach proposed to Tranfield et al. (2003) because it is one of the most famous approaches in the managerial literature. It has more than citations on Google

Elsevier’s
Scopus. It is one of the most recognized, tested, and validated by the research community. Step Planning the systematic literature review and identifying keywords . We planned this review thanks to the collaboration of academics, practitioners, and consultants active in the field to define the keywords for the review process [13]. We created a research group useful to validate our research process. The group included professors, researchers, risk managers, insurers, doctors, and lawyers. We carried out meetings to better understand this research field with this research group. Thanks to these meetings, we identified the keywords needed for the literature review. The keywords identified are “cyber”, “computer security”, “health”, and “risk”. “Cyber” includes all keywords linked to this term such as “cyber risk”, “cyber ‐ attack”, cybersecurity”, etc. “Health” includes keywords such as “healthcare sector”, “healthcare”, “health facilities”, etc. Finally, the “risk” includes all keywords such as “risk management”, “risk assessment”, “risk evaluation”, etc. Step Defining the criteria of document selection. We chose peer ‐ reviewed literature available on Elsevier’s
Scopus and
Web of Science because it is the best scientific database in the field [14]. The criteria of document selection are described in Table We restricted the search of keywords to ustainability , , of abstract, titled, and keywords, articles, and reviews published in journals. We performed this final search on June

Web of Science.
After, we read the title of these publications and selected publications. Finally, we read the abstract of these publications and selected documents useful to reach the aim of this study (Table Table Selection process of relevant documents. We read publications’ titles from Scopus and
Web of Science and selected publications We read publications’ abstracts and selected documents useful to the aim of the research We read publications to describe the main information on cyber risk in the health facilities Step Classifying of information . Using a datasheet created on Excel
Office, we carried out the following analyzes subdivided into two groups: (a) Publications’ trend—number of documents and citations by year, subject areas, documents by country, most keywords, and methodological information (theoretical research, e.g., literature review, descriptive; or empirical research, e.g., case study, action research); (b) Document information—aim and risk/s dealt for each paper. To classify the risk discussed to each paper, we used one of the most known as “ Taxonomy of operational cybersecurity risks ” proposed by Cebula and
Young (2010) [8]. It will be subsequently illustrated in the paper. Step Discussion and validity of results. We analyzed the findings describing the main information and future opportunities on cyber risk in health facilities. We assessed the validity of the research process and the results. As said before, this review is a high ‐ level overview of primary studies on a specific issue that identifies, selects, synthesizes, and appraises high ‐ quality research evidence relevant to that issue [13]. It responds to a focused question that eliminated any bias. The validity of results is led to clear selection criteria, systematic search strategy, and reference list. Furthermore, to assess the validity of results we controlled the use of the criteria suggested by the literature [13]. Specifically, we controlled the following criteria useful to a rigorous systematic literature review, i.e., (a) explicit , a protocol describes the selection criteria; (b) replicable , based on transparent process; (c) qualitative , based on quality assess; (d) inductive , biases are reduced to motivations; (e) collaborative , a research group assessed the review process, and (f) international, developed through international databases to make it available to reviewers. Results We reviewed publications on cyber risk from to describing the main: (a) publications’ trend and (b) document information. (a) Publications’ trend.
The first group of results describes the publications’ trend on cyber risk in the healthcare sector. It outlines the number of documents and citations by year, subject areas, documents by country, most keywords, and methods (see Figures and The analysis of document numbers by year illustrates the considerable scholars’ effort on the topic in the last three years. From ustainability , , of the study of cyber risk in the healthcare sector described an increase in the number of publications, from to documents. However, the number of citations is still limited (see Figure
Figure Publications’ trend—documents and citations by year. Figure Publications’ trend—subject areas, documents by country, and most methods. The main subject areas are
Medicine (40%, documents), Computer
Science (17.9%, documents), and Engineering (11.4%, documents). Not enough documents investigated other subject areas such as Social
Science (2.9%, documents), Business,
Management and
Accounting (3.6%, documents), and Mathematics (1.2%, document). Another significant publications’ trend described that the most prolific country was the
United
Stated (46%, documents), which is considered the top country. The
United
States investigated cyber risk concerning other topics such as risk management and risk assessment. After the
United
States, the most prolific countries were
Australia (7.1%, six documents) and the
United
Kingdom (7.1%, six documents).
Another analysis regards the methodological information; this investigation highlights that publications were based on the analytical method such as literature and descriptive reviews, whilst publications were based on the empirical method such as case studies and action researches (see Figure

The second group of analysis describes the overall aim of the publications (Appendix A) and class/subclass of risk analyzed in each paper (Table In Appendix A and Table we summarized the aim and the risk of each paper. The documents analyzed deal mainly the potential of using technology for various purposes related to the healthcare sector (Appendix A).
For example, telemedicine, electronic health/medical record, and mobile health application.
Telemedicine is defined by the World
Health
Organization (p. as: “ The delivery of health care services, where distance is a critical factor, by all health care professionals using information and communication technologies for the exchange of valid information for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and injuries, research and evaluation, and for the continuing education of health care providers, all in the interests of advancing the health of individuals and their communities ” [15]. Telemedicine is used such as supports the diagnosed and medications prescribed via untact [16]. Electronic
Health
Record (EHR), or Electronic
Medical
Record (EMR), is recognized as the storing of patients’ medical record in a different way from the traditional medical record [17]. EHR is described as the ability to store a large amount of low ‐ cost medical records using devices and ensure better patient care [17]. Mobile health application, so ‐ called mHealth, is the technology using to medical personnel for medical and other health ‐ related purposes [18]. This technology allows patient care; however, it can be attacked by hackers because it has a significant financial value in terms of personal data [18].

This paper analyzed publications’ trend and aim, and risk/s dealt for each paper.
The findings of these two analyses highlight two groups of results. The first group of results, based on the analysis of publications’ trends, identifies numerous future research opportunities. Although the literature describes a considerable scholars’ effort on cyber risk in the last two years, the results highlight a great need for further research. The total number of documents is not enough to answer to the cyber risk management challenge in the healthcare sector. The studies included in the Medicine area are not enough to contribute to cyber ‐ risk management as it lacks to risk assessment based on specific needs of health facilities. This topic should be investigated by a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to respond to the management challenge. The paper highlights a poor use of risk assessment tools to analyze cyber risk. Although the results highlight the use of the most important reactive risk assessment tools in the healthcare sector such as Incident
Reporting [80,81,88],
Root
Cause
Analysis [31,69], and
Failure
Mode and
Effect
Analysis [16], it describes not enough studies useful to investigate this topic. Furthermore, the results describe the main cyber risks applied at the management of electronic medical records [33,41,62], electronic health records [26,55,71,89], telemedicine devices [16], and mobile health [38,40,62,83]. The literature analyzed calls for studies to other subject areas such as Business,
Management and
Accounting;
Social
Science; and
Mathematics.
Practical experience from many countries must be known to provide new theory and develop tools able to answer a current world situation. Scholars should also move research focus from computer security to cyber risk; cyber risk is referred to as the probability that a given source of cyber threat exerts a potential vulnerability and the consequent impact of this adverse event on the organization. Scholars should pay attention to cyberspace as it is the place where adverse events can occur. Cyberspace is an interactive domain composed of all digital networks used to store, modify, and communicate information. It includes all information systems used to support businesses, infrastructures, and services [7]. Highlights of the first analysis: The considerable scholars’ effort on the topic in the last two years. However, the results describe a great need for further research. The total number of documents is not enough to answer to the cyber risk management challenge in the healthcare sector. The
Medicine area as the most subject area. The literature calls studies to other subject areas such as Business,
Management and
Accounting,
Social
Science, and
Mathematics. The
United
States as the most prolific country. This analysis outlines a gap in the study of this topic in many countries. The analytical method as the most research approaches utilized. The inquiry encourages empirical research to contribute to practical knowledge on this topic. ustainability , , of Computer security, risk management, and risk assessment were the most often used keywords.
There are not enough studies that use cyber risk such as keyword. The second group of results, based on the analysis of aim and risk/s dealt in each paper, describes the cyber risks in the healthcare sector. It highlights the risks in the use of telemedicine, electronic medical record, and mobile health. This literature review illustrated that there are not enough studies about the cyber risk assessment.
Finally, the document analyzed describes some key classes of operational cybersecurity risks such as Deliberate,
Software, and
Process controls.
Furthermore, this analysis highlights a gap in the study of “External Events”, i.e.,
Hazards,
Legal issues,
Business issues, and
Service dependencies.
The literature on the topic of cyber risk in the healthcare sector has been increasing in interest over the past few years. The main information technology risk for the health facilities, and generally for the
Company, is the manipulation of the cyber ‐ based system made by hackers, criminal or dishonest people to take information about people accesses in the Company system.
The cyber ‐ based system is a technology infrastructure that organization can use to simplify the work of the people. The manipulation of this system can be a risk for everyone because the attacker can obtain key company data relative to their business. It is important to protect from cyberattacks because they caused serious damage and the defense of these attackers is not an easy task. The use of this technology supports doctors and employees in their duties through remote work for health treatment and administrative purposes [16]. However, it alerts the health facilities and its stakeholders on dangers derived from the use of these technologies [90]. This danger can derive from internal problems—e.g., the wrong design of the computer network or inefficient processes [22]—and external problems—e.g., cyber ‐ attack by hackers [24]. These dangers are increasingly widespread and difficult to control all activities [91]. For instance, an activity with a high damage probability is telemedicine [16]. An increasingly widespread cyber risk is that of remote access to electronic medical records patients [18]. This access can be used as a fraudulent way by hackers to access information in the databases [17]. In addition to technology, hackers can also take advantage of staff loopholes and carelessness to collect data [19]. As highlighted by some papers, the solutions to improve cyber ‐ risk management are the continuous training of employees [19], the use of performing technologies, the continuous process improvement [49], the implementation of risk management activities [48], the use of proactive and reactive risk assessment tools [52], and the stipulation of insurance policies to protect any damage to stakeholders and the health facilities [71]. The device defense systems (antimalware, security patches, and software) must be updated constantly. Furthermore, the personnel of health facilities must be periodically trained on potential new threats to protect patient health and business risk [53]. To protect business risk, the literature highlights the need to implement risk management activities. It pushes the use of proactive and reactive risk assessment tools. The implementation of these activities and tools allows to know, manage, and contain the risk effectively. Besides, the literature highlights the use of insurance policies to protect asset management from health facilities [71]. The highlights of the second analysis are as follows: • Good knowledge of cyber risks was linked to the use of technology in the healthcare sector (e.g., telemedicine, electronic medical record, and mobile health). However, there are not holistic studies that introduce all cyber risks linked to the use of technology in the healthcare sector. • Numerous publications related to the study of some subclasses of operational cybersecurity risks such as Deliberate,
Software, and
Process control topics.
Furthermore, this analysis outlines a gap in the study of the class ‘External Events’. Conclusions
This paper presents a systematic literature review on cyber risk in the healthcare sector. It describes the main literature information on cyber risk. It highlights the poor attention of the scientific community on this topic, except in the United
States.
The studies related to the health facilities are not enough to answer healthcare needs. The literature lacks research contributions to face the cyber risk management challenge in the healthcare sector. This topic should be developed in other countries ustainability , , of and subject areas such as Business,
Management and
Accounting;
Social
Science; and
Mathematics.
The results of this research highlight the need for further studies to investigate empirically the cyber risk especially connected to some classes and subclasses of operational cybersecurity risks. For instance, scholars should provide more contributions to External
Events which hazards, legal issues, business issues, and service dependencies.
The implications of this research are twofold. One the one hand, it highlights knowledge of the literature on the cyber risk. On the other hand, it identifies gaps in the literature which need to be filled and, consequently, future research opportunities. This research has a main limitation, i.e., it analyzed only the documents related to the keyword “health”; this criterion may narrow the field excessively. However, we chose this keyword strategy to understand the current situation on cyber risk in the healthcare sector, especially during the COVID ‐ pandemic. This limitation may also be the strength of this research. Thanks to this research criterion, it identifies knowledge gaps in the literature and offers future research opportunities in studying cyber risk. Firstly, scholars may investigate the literature on cyber risk in other sectors and replicate the best practices in the health facilities. Secondly, it encourages new managerial solutions derived from practical experiences of consults and practitioners. Author

MedIMob supports IM clients on mobile devices in addition to desktop ‐ based clients [97] to explain like the consequences of a cyber ‐ attack or privacy breach could be operationally and financially catastrophic, so an HCO’s move toward an enterprise ‐ ustainability , , of wide approach at identifying and minimizing risk, cyber and privacy liability should be on the radar screen for risk managers and leadership [98] to develop guidelines for computer security in general practice based on a literature review, an analysis of available information on current practice and a series of key stakeholder interviews [99] to develop a model ‐ based approach towards end ‐ to ‐ end security which is defined as continuous security from point of origin to point of destination in a communication process [80] to guide the security essentials necessary to promote best practice for information security [81] to explain that the system addressed threats and vulnerabilities in the privacy and security of protected health information [85] to explain like the software program began an insidious assault on the hospital’s network, seeking out and copying files from every hard drive it could find [22] to explain like who get involved in security compliance can be unique and valuable assets to their organizations and to patient privacy [38] to describe information security design, implementation, management, and auditing inside a multi ‐ specialty provincial Italian hospital [100] to explain like information systems using public or private networks become vulnerable to outside attacks every time new servers are added or firewalls are updated [101] to explain like information technology is a key component in both defending against and aiding terrorism threats and other forms of terrorism, cybersecurity ‐ national (and global) critical information infrastructure protection [66] to explain like organizations must embark on an arduous journey to identify their vulnerabilities and come up with strategies to plug their security holes. To do so, they must conduct a gap analysis to determine those vulnerabilities and a risk assessment to set a policy framework [83] to explain like healthcare risk managers should be aware of their organizations’ electronic activities, the new risks brought about by these activities and alternative measures that can be taken to reduce or transfer the risks [84] to present the results of a risk analysis, based on the CRAMM methodology, for a healthcare organization offering a patient home ‐ monitoring service through the transmission of vital signs, focusing on the identified security needs and the proposed countermeasures [65] to give an overview of current trends in the security aspects of health ‐ care information systems [102] to examine the nature of security in the context of health care and explores the importance of the identification of risk [69] References Reason, J.
