Spotlight on Information Security Integration in the German Health Sector

Abstract

Based on extensive research of the literature on the cur-rent status of the health sector in Germany, the four spot-light areas of CRITIS, the pandemic situation, pandemic planning, and communication and learning are discussed in more detail in connection with information security. They may be used to create an integrative research map for holistic approaches in future research projects. With this in mind, the aim of this paper is to summarize key aspects of the spotlight areas based on a sound under-standing of the literature. The focus here is on general lessons learned from previous awareness-raising projects in information security.
