Introduction
There are very many issues that are facing the health industry about cyber security, and its

targeted and the untargeted attacks repeatedly, (Shackelford, 2014). Through ransomware,
patients’ information has been tampered with /breached by accessing the information system of
the hospital in various ways. Implementation of cyber risk management strategy shall minimize
cyber-attacks and put on the necessary precautions that makes it hard for the cyber attackers to
access any hospital’s information. This shall ensure the patient’s privacy and promote patient’s
rights of quality care as it is in the health compliance standards of the local, federal and state
