A Diplomatic Remedy for the Global Medical Community: Information Security in Health Care as a Topic of International Negotiations

ABSTRACT

Although key countries consider it part of their critical infrastructure, health care infrastructure has not been a priority in international talks on cybersecurity. But health care organizations have been targets of cyberattacks in recent years, and the COVID-19 pandemic has compelled the international community to pay special attention to information security in health services. As stated above, it was addressed in the OEWG's 2021 report. Also, ways have been proposed to use international cooperation channels for practical work to solve the problem. By 2010, the topic of the information security of critical infrastructure was fixed on the agenda of international negotiations under UN auspices.
