As you read this, somewhere, someone is contemplating compromising their organization’s information security. Do you sit back and do nothing? Or act now? What if you do not know where to start?

This book explains the use of applying threat modeling to safeguard an organization’s assets.

In the context of medical equipment and devices used in the hospitals, the stakes are exceptionally high. While medical cyber-physical systems are essential for safeguarding the lives of our most vulnerable patients. However, employee behavior vulnerabilities can expose these systems to significant risks, threatening patient safety and patients data integrity.

In this book, the author explains how to use threat modeling strategies to add an extra layer of security, helping to protect an organization’s valuable assets. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of threat modeling in healthcare technology used to provide care to preterm babies in the NICU systems. It serves as a theoretical framework for understanding and addressing these critical threats. The author applies threat modeling techniques similar to those used in human asset management to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with negative employee behavior in the workplace.
