Abstract

The significance of risk assessment in medical sectors, particularly in emergency rooms, is crucial due to the criticality of the service. We present a comprehensive risk assessment framework for analyzing the risks associated with deploying and using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in a healthcare environment. In this context, we improve upon the existing methodologies by dynamically calculating the risk score for different devices profiles, considering their number along with other parameters, such as network protocols, device heterogeneity, device security updates, device physical security status, device history status, layer history status, and device criticality. The framework helps healthcare organizations identify, assess, and manage the risks of IoT, which can range from data privacy and confidentiality to system integrity, availability, and performance.
