The healthcare sector is increasingly reliant on advanced medical devices, from infusion pumps to imaging machines, to deliver critical care. Yet these innovations come with significant cybersecurity risks. Cyberattacks targeting medical devices have become more sophisticated, exposing vulnerabilities in software and firmware.
To combat these, manufacturers are being forced to rethink their approach to medical device security. Traditional methods, like postmarket software patching, are no longer sufficient. A new era in medical device security has emerged, one that emphasizes proactive, built-in strategies to safeguard patient safety and healthcare integrity.
