The impact of Cyber Security is global, requiring immediate attention for protecting, conserving, and maintaining the integrity of any data. The need for cyber security is of utmost importance in Industry or Academics. To address this, all stakeholders should have substantial knowledge about cyber security and how to implement it. The use of published generic standards and guidelines does not describe the technologies or solutions that can be used. Currently, machine learning-based applications, serious games, or remote training can be used to bridge this gap. This paper proposes a vision model based on Quantum Artificial Intelligence (QAI) that generates secure software development (SSD) rules to educate and train developers and testers during different phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The proposed model trains QAI algorithms on data from industry standards, vulnerability information, and proprietary and historical data to create security rules that developers and testers can quickly adapt. Consequently, a case study about the automotive industry SSD discusses the application of the vision model.

The maritime industry has become vulnerable to attacks lately. These attacks often come in different forms, including cyber and piracy. Future increase in cyberattacks and cyber vulnerability for maritime supply chains is already an established consensus among practitioners and academics. It is therefore important to enact policies and build resilient systems to effectively address the threats posed by these attacks. However, there is little information in the literature regarding the research gaps and future needs of the maritime industry in terms of cyber security. In this conceptual paper, a review study is undertaken to identify the research gaps in maritime cybersecurity, proposal of how these gaps could be addressed and future research priorities are discussed. In addition, it identifies policies that needs to be updated and enacted. The results show that there is currently a huge gap as: 1) the literature does not have real time data on maritime cyber-attacks, making it difficult for modelling and future prediction of such attacks to be carried out, 2) the economic impact of maritime cyber-attack has only been addressed rather slightly, 3) the curriculum and educational system for training maritime professionals is limited in building their capacity to address current and future cyber threats. In addition, current national and international laws are structurally inadequate to regulate the maritime cyber space.

Insider threats, as one of the pressing challenges that threaten an organization’s information assets, usually result in considerable losses to the business. It is necessary to explore the key human factors that enterprise information security management should focus on preventing to reduce the probability of insider threats effectively. This paper first puts forward the improved Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (IHFACS) based on actual enterprise management. Then, the enterprise internal threat risk assessment model is constructed using the Bayesian network, expert evaluation, and fuzzy set theory. Forty-three classic insider threat cases from China, the United States, and Israel during 2009–2021 are selected as samples. Then, reasoning and sensitivity analysis recognizes the top 10 most critical human factors of the accident and the most likely causal chain of unsafe acts. The result shows that the most unsafe behavior was not assessing employees’ familiarity with the company’s internal security policies. In addition, improving the organizational impact of information security can effectively reduce internal threats and promote the sustainable development of enterprises.

Currently, cybersecurity plays an essential role in computing and information technology due to its direct effect on organizations’ critical assets and information. Cybersecurity is applied using integrity, availability, and confidentiality to protect organizational assets and information from various malicious attacks and vulnerabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated different cybersecurity issues and challenges for businesses as employees have become accustomed to working from home. Firms are speeding up their digital transformation, making cybersecurity the current main concern. For software and hardware systems protection, organizations tend to spend an excessive amount of money procuring intrusion detection systems, antivirus software, antispyware software, and encryption mechanisms. However, these solutions are not enough, and organizations continue to suffer security risks due to the escalating list of security vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a thriving need to provide a cybersecurity awareness and training framework for remote working employees. The main objective of this research is to propose a CAT framework for cybersecurity awareness and training that will help organizations to evaluate and measure their employees’ capability in the cybersecurity domain. The proposed CAT framework will assist different organizations in effectively and efficiently managing security-related issues and challenges to protect their assets and critical information. The developed CAT framework consists of three key levels and twenty-five core practices. Case studies are conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the CAT framework in cybersecurity-based organizational settings in a real-world environment. The case studies’ results showed that the proposed CAT framework can identify employees’ capability levels and help train them to effectively overcome the cybersecurity issues and challenges faced by the organizations.
... Data leakage, hacking, tampering, may occur towards public health services [2].

Recent technological (e.g., IoT, 5G) and economic (e.g., UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals) developments have transformed the healthcare sector towards more personalized and IoT-based healthcare services. These services are realized through control and monitoring applications that are typically developed using artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) based algorithms that play a significant role to highlight the efficiency of traditional healthcare systems. Current personalized healthcare services are dedicated in a specific environment and support technological personalization (e.g., personalized gadgets/devices) and are unable to consider different inter-related health conditions that lead to inappropriate diagnosis and affect sustainability and the long-term health/life of patients. Towards this problem, the state-of-the-art Healthcare 5.0 technology has evolved that supersede the previous healthcare technologies. The goal of healthcare 5.0 is to achieve a fully autonomous healthcare service, that takes into account the interdependent effect of different health conditions of a patient. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on personalized healthcare services. In particular, we first present an overview of key requirements of comprehensive personalized healthcare services (CPHS) in modern healthcare Internet of Things (HIoT), including the definition of personalization and an example use case scenario as a representative for modern HIoT. Second, we explored a fundamental three-layer architecture for IoT-based healthcare systems using both AI/ML-based and non-AI-based approaches, considering key requirements for CPHS followed by their strengths and weaknesses in the frame of personalized healthcare services. Third, we highlighted different security threats against each layer of IoT architecture along with the possible AI-based and non-AI-based solutions. Finally, we proposed a methodology to provide reliable, resilient, and personalized healthcare services that address the identified weaknesses of existing approaches.
... Nevertheless, the technical understanding is still the predominant view on building resilience in this field. Recent research on hospitals and health infrastructure resilience, e.g., deals with structural and internal safety in general [8]; resilience in the context of COVID-19 [9,10]; cyberattacks [11,12]; various natural hazards, including earthquakes [13,14], hurricanes [15], and wildfires [16]; or specific settings such as urban areas [17]. It is striking that comparably little research focuses on a broader, more holistic understanding of health infrastructure systems, hospital resilience, or the contribution of health infrastructure resilience to overall societal resilience. ...

The current understanding of critical health infrastructure resilience is still dominated by a technical perspective. Reality however is different, as past events including the COVID-19 pandemic have revealed: emergency situations are only rarely exclusively technical in nature. Instead they are a product of prior circumstances, often linked to natural hazards, technical mishaps, and insufficient social and organizational preparedness structures. However, experiences and lessons learned from past events are still largely overlooked and have not sufficiently found their way into conceptual understandings of critical health infrastructure resilience. This paper addresses this gap by challenging the one-sided and technically oriented understanding of resilience in the context of critical health infrastructure. Based on a systematic literature review, it assesses real-world cases of water supply failures in healthcare facilities, a serious threat largely overlooked in research and policy. The results underscore the need for targeted organizational strategies to deal with cascading impacts. The overall findings show that addressing technical aspects alone is not sufficient to increase the overall resilience of healthcare facilities. Broadening the dominant resilience understanding is hence an important foundation for healthcare infrastructures to improve risk management and emergency preparedness strategies to increase their resilience towards future disruptions.
