Danger and threats are something that are always occurring every second of the day. When we hear the word “security”, we usually think about information and computers. In addition to computers, automated robots can also be in danger so therefore need to be secured. One security risk that automated robots have will be being hacked by hackers. An example would a hacker, hacking in the computer system to steal a patient's medical record. Due to this possibility, there must be defense methods to avoid cyberattacks. This poses a big security threat for the robot and the patient. Another aspect of security would be a patient's privacy. Concerns would be if the robot has ability to keep a patient’s records confidential instead of disclosing them. Because of this, there must be logical controls such as encryptions and firewalls to make it difficult for hackers or unauthorized users to access the robots or locate confidential information of patients. Should automated robots be used as an assistant to the nurse or doctor or should it work independently? Questions like these arise when security concerns are taken into consideration (Fuji, 2014).
