How their research is transforming health care
Hospitals have become primary targets for cyberattacks because they increasingly rely on digital systems. By analyzing healthcare data and collaborating with healthcare partners, my research aims to develop data-based strategies that help hospitals strengthen their resilience, improve recovery following cyberattacks, and provide suggestions on health IT risk management. My work contributes to improving the reliability and security of digital health systems.
