• The security of surgical robotics systems needs to be ensured given the growing usage of technology in healthcare. Cybersecurity risks can potentially compromise the surgical robotics systems' availability, confidentiality, and integrity, with severe repercussions for patients and medical professionals.
  An overview of the security concerns relating to surgical robotics and the steps that can be taken to improve their security is provided in this abstract. The concerns connected to surgical robotics are discussed in the report, including hacking, data breaches, and cyberattacks. The document also gives a general review of the security procedures that are currently in place, including access control, authentication, and encryption.
  The report also highlights the significance of establishing safety precautions at several levels, including network, hardware, and software. The report emphasizes the necessity of routine vulnerability scanning.
  The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of surgical robotics systems must all be guaranteed, which means that security must be provided for surgical robotics. To avoid cybersecurity catastrophes that could jeopardize patient safety and public confidence in the healthcare system, healthcare providers and manufacturers must proactively identify and mitigate potential security risks.
