Abstract

The healthcare industry is a critical sector that demands robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data and infrastructure. With the rapid evolution of cyber threats, attack vectors, and adversarial strategies, organizations and governments face significant challenges in ensuring data security. While extensive research exists on cybersecurity threats, breaches, and the efficacy of open-source security tools, their practical implementation in real-world healthcare settings particularly where financial constraints exist remain underexplored. This study proposes an Open Security Operations Center (SOC) architecture to strengthen cybersecurity in the healthcare domain, specifically addressing the protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The proposed architecture will be rigorously tested for performance, and the results will be analyzed to assess its effectiveness. The findings will contribute to developing security frameworks that enhance the cyber resilience of small and medium-scale healthcare institutions while addressing the financial and operational challenges inherent in the cybersecurity landscape.
