April 22, 2024 – Medical Device Cybersecurity

As connected medical devices become ubiquitous across hospitals and home care settings, global regulatory bodies—including the FDA and European authorities—are enforcing stricter medical device cybersecurity protocols. Manufacturers are now required to implement end-to-end security measures covering initial design, development, post-market surveillance, and software updates. These regulations aim to safeguard patient data privacy and prevent cyber threats that could disrupt device performance or clinical operations. For healthcare providers, selecting cybersecurity-certified medical equipment is becoming a critical factor in procurement, ensuring both regulatory compliance and operational safety in an increasingly digital healthcare environment.
