Study Notes
- HealthGenic is a pediatric clinic using web-based medical software to monitor health/growth from infancy to adulthood.
- The software schedules appointments, customizes medical reports, stores patient data/history, and allows communication among medical staff.
- HealthGenic experienced service interruptions, and a complicated user interface challenged untrained personnel.
- The software company fixed the issue but modified files with sensitive patient data, leading to incomplete/incorrect reports and privacy invasion.
Question 1
- Question: Which of the following indicates that the confidentiality of information was compromised?
- Answer: Invasion of patients' privacy
- Confidentiality means information isn't available/disclosed to unauthorized parties, so only authorized individuals can access it.
- The invasion of patients' privacy means unauthorized parties were exposed to personal and medical information
Question 2
- Question: What is a potential impact of the loss of integrity of information in HealthGenic?
- Answer: Incomplete and incorrect medical reports
- Loss of integrity means information was modified/corrupted improperly, resulting in inaccurate/unreliable data.
- Incomplete/incorrect reports can cause misdiagnosis, wrong medication, privacy violations, and legal issues for HealthGenic.
- Integrity of information can be ensured through measures like encryption, authentication, backup, audit, and incident response.
Question 3
- Question: Intrinsic vulnerabilities, such as the _______ are related to the characteristics of the asset.
- Answer: Complicated user interface
- Intrinsic vulnerabilities are characteristics that make an asset susceptible to threats.
- The complicated user interface is an intrinsic vulnerability, increasing the risk of human errors.
- Software malfunctions and service interruptions are caused by external factors.
Question 4
- Question: Which situation described in scenario 1 represents a threat to HealthGenic?
- Answer: The software company modified information related to HealthGenic's patients
- A threat is any incident that could negatively affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability of an asset.
- Modification of sensitive information compromises confidentiality and integrity.
Question 5
- Question: HealthGenic experienced service interruptions due to the loss of functionality of the software. Which principle of information security has been affected in this case?
- Answer: Availability
- Availability means information is accessible and usable on demand by an authorized entity and always ready for use when needed
- Service interruptions affected availability, because the software couldn't handle the demand/provide functionality to users.
