Background: The involvement of cybersecurity protocols in healthcare systems is crucial for safeguarding patient information and ensuring organizational continuity. With the increasing reliance on digital healthcare solutions, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has intensified.
Objectives: This bibliometric analysis aims to explore research trends and strategies for managing cybersecurity threats in healthcare. The study focuses on identifying key areas of interest, influential researchers, institutions, and prominent publication sources.
Methods: The analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection, covering publications from January 1, 2010, to June 30, 2024. Only peer-reviewed articles and reviews published in English were considered. A total of 980 publications were identified, comprising 650 articles and 330 reviews.
