• Abstract: Cyber attacks on the healthcare industry can have tremendous consequences and the attack surface expands continuously. In order to handle the steadily rising workload, an expanding amount of analog processes in healthcare institutions is digitized. Despite regulations becoming stricter, not all existing infrastructure is sufficiently protected against cyber attacks. With an increasing number of devices and digital processes, the system and network landscape becomes more complex and harder to manage and therefore also more difficult to protect. The aim of this project is to introduce an AI-enabled platform that collects security relevant information from the outside of a health organization, analyzes it, delivers a risk score and supports decision makers in healthcare institutions to optimize investment choices for security measures. Therefore, an architecture of such a platform is designed, relevant information sources are identified, and AI methods for relevant data collection, selection, and risk scoring are explored.

  The digitization of all processes and the opening to IoT devices has fostered the emergence of a new formof crime, i.e. cybercrime. The maliciousness of such attacks lies in the fact that they turn users into facilitators of cyber-attacks, to the point of being perceived as the weak link'' of cybersecurity. Knowing how to anticipate, identifying weak signals and outliers, detect early and react quickly to computer crime are therefore priority issues requiring a prevention and cooperation approach.
