Authors: , , , , , ,
Abstract: In the health and welfare sector, many entrepreneurs and employees are not skilled in information and cybersecurity, even when they are constantly dealing with sensitive data. This case study research examines a team of private Finnish podiatrists and their cybersecurity capabilities. The goal of the study is to gather the most important information and cybersecurity topics and create an easy-to-read guide that helps businesses find the framework for their information and cybersecurity and address it in more detail. The results of the case study show that the target organization's most important information and cybersecurity areas are phishing, secure environment, secure communication, passwords, software updates, backups, and physical security. Understanding these topics and following the planned guidelines will strengthen the security posture of all small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health and welfare sector.
