Medical device cybersecurity involves the protection of connected healthcare devices from cyber threats to ensure patient safety and data integrity. It includes identifying vulnerabilities, implementing secure design practices, and complying with regulatory standards. Effective cybersecurity measures mitigate risks such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and device malfunctions, ensuring that medical devices function securely and remain resilient against evolving cyber threats.

Great post on medical device cybersecurity! It's crucial to identify and mitigate risks early in the lifecycle of medical devices to ensure both patient safety and data security. In addition to the measures you mentioned, integrating Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools into the development process can help identify vulnerabilities in code before deployment. At BlueGoatCyber, we specialize in medical device cybersecurity, offering penetration testing and documentation services to support FDA premarket submissions and post-market management. Our approach helps ensure the long-term security and compliance of medical devices throughout their lifecycle.
