Cybersecurity in Clinical Research 2025–2026
The clinical research landscape is rapidly evolving. Digital transformation, decentralized clinical trials, artificial intelligence, and global collaboration are reshaping how studies are designed and conducted. While these innovations accelerate drug development and improve patient access, they also introduce new cybersecurity and data protection risks. In 2025–2026, IT security is no longer a supporting function. It has become a strategic pillar that ensures patient safety, data integrity, regulatory compliance, and organizational trust.
