Abstract	The healthcare industry’s rapid digitization has revolutionized patient care while increasing exposure to cyber threats. From ransomware attacks to data breaches, healthcare systems face relentless challenges that jeopardize patient privacy and safety. These threats compromise sensitive medical records and disrupt vital services, with global costs exceeding $6 trillion annually by some estimates. Traditional security measures, such as firewalls and antivirus software, are no longer sufficient to combat sophisticated attacks. Instead, advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) offer innovative pathways to fortify healthcare systems. This paper examines healthcare's current cybersecurity landscape, emerging technologies' role in safeguarding data, and the ethical considerations in implementing these solutions. By adopting proactive strategies and fostering a culture of digital vigilance, healthcare organizations can build robust defenses against an evolving threat landscape.
