Zero Trust and Identity: Bridging the Gap in Healthcare with Decentralization (40 min.)
Rob van Kranenburg | CIO, Asvin
Jim St. Clair | COO & Advisor, Multiple Companies
Shaila Rana, Founder, CyberSecure
Moderator
The National Cybersecurity Strategy of 2023 emphasizes the importance of implementing zero trust architectures (ZTA). ZTA is listed as a key component in the approach to cybersecurity. The National Cybersecurity strategy emphasizes the need for agencies and organizations to adopt a ZTA to include MFA, encryption, continuous monitoring, and more. These measures are listed as being essential to protect networks, devices, data, and information systems from the plethora of cyber threats we face. Critical infrastructure has been frequently attacked and targeted by nefarious actors, especially the healthcare industry. Due to the nature of information that is hosted and interacted with in the healthcare industry, the implementation of a ZTA is all the more crucial. In the context of health care, zero trust is becoming increasingly essential because of the vast amounts of patient health information that can be highly valuable
to cyber criminals. Moreover, the rise of telemedicine, remote work, and online communications with doctors and healthcare staff leave information systems vulnerable. Thus, implementing a zero trust approach in healthcare can reduce the risk and impact of security incidents. A ZTA can improve the security posture of healthcare organizations to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of patient data. However, the implementation of a ZTA
within health care can face some hurdles. Consequently, this panel will address these challenges and remediations.
Learning Objectives
- Identify challenges and remediations associated with implementing ZTA in healthcare
- Analyze the vulnerabilities in healthcare information systems caused by the rise of telemedicine, remote work, and online communications
- Evaluate how implementation of a zero trust approach can reduce the risk and impact of security incidents in healthcare
S3EF-HBCAs: Secure and Sustainable Software Engineering Framework for Healthcare Blockchain Applications(20 min.)
Muthu Ramachandran, PhD | Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Indian Institute of Technology (ISM), India
Blockchain applications in healthcare have grown rapidly. BC in healthcare applications includes record keeping, clinical trials, medical supply chains, patient monitoring, etc where BC characteristics are needed to improve safety, privacy, and security. BC is one of the biggest disruptive technologies today. However, Porru, et al (2017) have reported it lacks processes, tools, and techniques.
Destefanis et. Al. (2018) has reported that there is a need for smart contract programming based on a disciplined approach and have reported several incidents of vulnerabilities causing freezing of more than 500K users with the loss of $150 millions of dollars. In addition, existing studies on software engineering for blockchain Dapps sought for a systematic approach (Beller and Hejderup, 2018; Destefanis et. Al. 2018; Chung L, do Prado Leite JCS 2009).
Therefore, this talk provides a systematic framework for a secure and sustainable software engineering framework for healthcare blockchain applications. S3EF-HBCA includes requirements engineering for healthcare, business process modelling for healthcare, a reference architecture for healthcare, and validation by case study and simulation with BPMN. The results show encouragement in terms of process, tools, standards, and testing.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the current trends in healthcare blockchain applications (HBCAs)
- To identify some of the key characteristics of Blockchain relevant to HBCAs
- To understand the security, sustainability, and software engineering approach in HBCAs Framework (S3EF-HBCAs)
- To understand Requirements Engineering for S3EF-HBCAs
- To acquire knowledge on Domain Classification for Blockchain Applications
- To understand Blocks-Points Effort & Complexity Estimation
- To understand Reference Architecture for Blockchain in S3EF-HBCAs
- To understand BPMN modelling & simulation using a Case Study and Evaluation of REF-ArcBC with BPMN: Electronic Health Record (EHR)
- To understand the Evaluation Techniques of BPMN simulation for Reference Architecture for S3EF-HBCAs.

3:30pm | Decentralized Clinical Trial Management Systems (dCTMS) Workshop (1-Hour Interactive Learning Exercise)
Alex Cahana | Partner, Impact Rooms
Rama Rao | CEO, BloqCube
From a patient point of view drug discovery takes too long, whereas researchers express there is too much bureaucracy in the process. For actors in policy and regulation, the perception is that accelerated R&D has not translated into better patient outcomes. The future of pharma and digital therapies is fraught with increased costs and uncertain profitability – even insurance companies have experienced reduced ability to place new drugs on formulary. We pay more for drugs and die younger- so how should we practically redesign CTMS?
The answer to this and other related questions will be spotlighted with a pointed presentation of the challenges of bringing dCTMS to real life along with a tailored workshop where instructors will cover:
- What does dCTMS look like?
- Patients, providers/researchers, payers, industry/pharma/CRO, government will be divided into groups to create Real dCTMS in Action
- Groups will present their solution in a Workshop Debrief
