Abstract |
: |
Hospitals have been historically known for their strong risk mitigation policies and designs, which are not becoming easier or simpler to plan and operate. Healthcare organizations are required to follow safety and operational standards set by regulatory agencies depending on the country they are being built at. Hospitals, in the meantime, are visited more common than they did before due to the increased number of viruses and diseases. This increase of visiting frequency to hospitals and increase in number of employees necessitates the use of stringent physical security policies. Currently, new technologies and devices are developed every day in the medical industry. These devices, systems, and personnel are in an ever-higher state of connection to the network and servers, which necessitates the use of stringent cybersecurity policies. Therefore, this work aims to comprehensively identify, quantify, and model the cyber-physical security status quo in healthcare facilities. In this thesis, we aimed to develop a model that allows healthcare organizations to determine their Cyber-Physical security status and how resilient they are to different physical security and cybersecurity threats. The model we developed is going to allow healthcare organizations to understand the imminent operational risks and to identify which measures to improve or add to their system in order to mitigate those risks. Thus, in this work we developed a novel assessment tool to provide hospitals with a proper reflection of their status quo, which will assist hospital designers in adding the suggested cyber-physical risk mitigation measures to the design itself before operation. |
