The adoption of IoT in healthcare has transformed patient care, but it also exposes the sector to serious cybersecurity risks.
Connected medical devices are vulnerable to cyberattacks that can compromise patient data, disrupt essential healthcare services, and, in severe cases, threaten patient safety. Key security measures include strong authentication protocols, device security through robust access controls, data encryption, network segmentation, and regular software updates, as well as secure Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management to ensure the integrity of device software. Additionally, healthcare organizations must conduct regular risk assessments, maintain a comprehensive incident response plan, and educate staff on cybersecurity best practices. Prioritizing these strategies helps healthcare providers secure their IoT ecosystem, safeguarding both patient information and the resilience of critical medical infrastructure.
