Medical Device Security: Strengthening Digital Safety in Healthcare Systems
In recent years, the healthcare industry has witnessed rapid digital transformation, with connected medical devices becoming an essential part of patient care. From implantable cardiac monitors to infusion pumps and wearable health trackers, the reliance on networked technology is revolutionizing medical diagnostics and treatment. However, this growing digital connectivity also brings an urgent challenge—medical device security.
Cybersecurity threats are now emerging as a critical concern in healthcare settings, where a single breach could endanger patient safety, compromise confidential data, and disrupt clinical operations. The increasing number of connected devices, coupled with outdated security frameworks, has created vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cybercriminals. Hospitals and medical device manufacturers are now prioritizing security measures to protect both devices and the data they handle.
