Abstract The healthcare sector has become an increasingly prominent target for cyberattacks, with data breaches, ransomware incidents, and system disruptions posing severe risks to patient safety, data privacy, and organizational stability. As healthcare organizations continue to adopt emerging technologies such as telemedicine platforms, IoT-enabled medical devices, and cloud-based data systems, the attack surface expands, necessitating more adaptive and intelligent defense mechanisms. This review investigates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in mitigating cybersecurity risks within healthcare infrastructures. It further explores the design and application of AI-powered predictive analytics for early threat detection, autonomous mitigation strategies, dynamic policy adjustments, automated network segmentation, and intelligent threat containment without disrupting critical clinical operations. Findings highlight that integrating adaptive AI systems into cybersecurity architectures enhances resilience against attack vectors, ensuring more robust protection of sensitive patient data and operational continuity. This study concludes that intelligent, self-evolving defense models are imperative for safeguarding healthcare ecosystems in an era of accelerating technological complexity and cyber threat sophistication.
