Medical device vulnerabilities
Connected medical devices such as ventilators, infusion pumps and imaging equipment often lack strong security protections. If compromised, these devices can be manipulated, leading to dangerous malfunctions or data breaches.
Secure medical devices. Conduct regular security assessments, segment networks and update device firmware to close vulnerabilities.
Key Dangers & Risks:
Device manipulation. Hackers could alter device functions, risking patient safety.
Network entry points. Insecure devices provide an easy pathway into hospital networks.
Data leaks. Patient information stored on devices may be stolen or exposed.
