BHA4020 Assessment 4-1 Capstone Final Report

The findings show that criminal attacks are the most common breaches. Cybercrime is on the rise in the health care sector. The increasing threats aligns with the growth of criminal networks seeking to gain from stealing and manipulating patient and organizational data.

Lost devices and information systems, intentional and unintentional staff actions, and malicious insider activities are also common in the organization.
