Objective of the study: Statistics shows a worrisome picture of challenges to be overcome by cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. Data evidence that the healthcare industry experiences four data breaches per week in the United States alone, making it the sector most often affected by digital security breaches. Thus, the current article aims to investigate risk management focusing on identifying requirements and best practices for healthcare data security systems.Methodology/approach: It is based on a systematic literature review. Studies on state-of-the-art data security systems were collected and interpreted through content analysis. Assertive keywords, source-selection criteria, interpretation of selected articles, and database analysis were used to form the investigated sample and to represent the broad applications of this study’s objective.Originality/Relevance: The current study contributes to define a set of minimum requirements and best practices that can be adopted to manage data security risks in the healthcare sector and medical devices.Main results: Results have pointed out that there is no fully effective way to prevent all violations by cybercriminals; however, cybersecurity must be part of management processes adopted by different organizations.Theoretical/methodological contributions: It is found that cybersecurity has a great importance for the healthcare sector, the information generated is rich in content and that cybersecurity is neglected in the sector, that is not able to deal with the reality of cyber threats in the industry 4.0 context.Social /management contributions: By the good risk management practices and the adoption of minimum security items, institutions can ensure that managers can prepare and respond efficiently to cyber risks.

“…However, the state of affairs changes drastically in the cyber-networks, because data protection offers less design flexibility to avoid a certain type of cyber-attacks. In particular, no matter how strong the encryption is, it is useless against a novel ransomware cyber-attack [14]. The ransomware attack does not break the encryption of target data and may encrypt the target data afresh.…”

“…The fourth technique of information protection is related to the monitoring of communication, in which case data transaction itself is examined for early detection of evasive malware execution. This approach makes it easier to counteract against new developing malware [14]. The monitoring itself appears not for protecting customers' data; but if we consider saving the monitoring records, then this idea can be expanded to lead to a new concept, namely, the registration of a batch of communication records in distributed ledgers.…”

The widespread computer network has been changing drastically and substantially since blockchain and IoT entered the stage. Blockchain is good at protecting data transactions between logical nodes with a desirable guaranty. Internet of Things (IoT), on the other hand, by providing ultimate convenience to consumers, is expected to give rise to many various merits in a broad business scene. The security of IoT is still an open problem and if blockchain can reinforce IoT security, as many authors have hoped in recent papers, these newcomers appear to make a good collaboration to reinforce IoT security. However, software copes with logical nodes and IoT involves a vast number of physical nodes (IoT devices). Enabling blockchain to protect IoT cannot be brought to reality without respectively identifying logical and physical nodes. This is identical to the Proof-of-Trust problem. In this article, we propose a conceptual solution—Blockchained IoT—and show that this concept is able to be realized on-chip level using mass-produced dynamical random access memory (DRAM). We have completed the first test of longevity and temperature dependence (−40 °C to 105 °C) to confirm the necessary characteristics for the 5G base stations that are known to have an issue of self-heating. Furthermore, we have coarsely evaluated the probability of two DRAM IC chips being associated with an identical cyber-physical chip identification accidentally. Then, such a probability is minimal.
