Abstract

This chapter introduces the reader to current technological trends that are shaping the healthcare sector and the pressing cyber security risks associated with these trends. The importance of phishing as a common attack vector is highlighted and the execution of phishing training simulations as a behavioral intervention is described. In the discussion section some challenges regarding the use of the COM-B framework as a basis for network-oriented models are discussed and potential future improvement opportunities are highlighted. Following the description of a phishing training simulation scenario, a multi-level adaptive network model based on key elements of the COM-B framework is described.
