Abstract

Well-being, aging and health cover important aspects of life of persons, communities and societies. As a study field, it aims to address all these aspects simultaneously and not excluding any aspect from it. Such environments have to be supported by various technology-enabled solutions, where cybersecurity is always critical. In order to organize efficient cybersecurity knowledge management, semantic constructs, such as ontologies, have to be introduced to the overall system. This work provides an overview of related work on ontology-based cybersecurity. The main contribution is the scoping review of cybersecurity ontologies applied to health, well-being and similar aspects of care. The review indicated the dual need for ontologies in such systems - the first to structure the meaning of well-being and health data, and the second to structure the meaning of cybersecurity approaches, measures, techniques, etc. to protect such data. Some health data challenges are also discussed and guidelines given for proper development of cybersecurity ontology for well-being, aging and health.
