Digital Forensic Readiness In Wireless Medical Systems

Abstract

individuals and businesses has become dependent on digital devices. These devices and services are used in the healthcare systems including hospitals as Wireless Medical Networks (WMedSys). Security incidents in the WMedSys have increased over the past few years. This paper reports research into digital forensic readiness in wireless medical systems by inserting forensic readiness states into the network system and preparing mitigation for security failure. A design is built and tested, and then validated by expert feedback. The contribution of this research is to present a novel conceptual design for a digital forensic readiness framework for WMedSys, which can be easily implemented and integrated into existing wireless networks in the healthcare sector.
