Research on Medical Security System Based on Zero Trust

Sensors (Basel). 2023 Apr 6;23(7):3774. doi: 10.3390/s23073774.

Abstract

With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, cloud computing, and big data, the combination of medical systems and information technology has become increasingly close. However, the emergence of intelligent medical systems has brought a series of network security threats and hidden dangers, including data leakage and remote attacks, which can directly threaten patients' lives. To ensure the security of medical information systems and expand the application of zero trust in the medical field, we combined the medical system with the zero-trust security system to propose a zero-trust medical security system. In addition, in its dynamic access control module, based on the RBAC model and the calculation of user behavior risk value and trust, an access control model based on subject behavior evaluation under zero-trust conditions (ABEAC) was designed to improve the security of medical equipment and data. Finally, the feasibility of the system is verified through a simulation experiment.

Keywords: dynamic access control; network security threats; trust assessment; zero-trust security system.
