Abstract
With the fourth industrial revolution, there is a digitization wave going on for the transformation of existing systems into modern digital systems. This has opened the window for many opportunities, but at the same time, there is a multitude of cyber-security threats that need to be addressed. This paper considers one such threat posed by phishing and ransomware attacks to the healthcare infrastructures. Phishing has also been the most prevalent attack mechanism on the healthcare infrastructures during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The paper proposes two intervention strategies as a step towards catering to the challenges posed by phishing and ransomware attacks in the context of healthcare infrastructures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
