Secure Connected Health

Healthcare cybersecurity measures are essential for patient safety

Medical device security is critical to healthcare innovation. As device security continues to develop, the healthcare system becomes more digitally connected. With revolutionary developments, doctors can provide more efficient and effective care, and patients can feel more confident in their treatment.

However, with advances in digital connection come new and unforeseen cybersecurity risks. These risks can have severe implications on patient safety and must be addressed to create an environment ideal for secure connected health.

To make healthcare devices more secure, their risks must be thoroughly reviewed. New products should be developed with security built in. Hospital systems also play a role; they must take a threat-aware approach to both their computer networks and how they deliver care.

有料盒子APP鈥檚 Secure Connected Health initiative supports action from the entire healthcare community. We take a holistic view including medical device manufacturers, regulators, hospital systems, medical providers, and patients. The challenges ahead are wide-ranging and include concerns for data privacy, data ownership, and, most importantly, patient safety鈥攊ssues all community members must work to address.

Securing Medical Devices

The medical device security ecosystem is a complex intersection of stakeholders. All participants鈥攆rom researchers to patients鈥攈ave a role to play in building and maintaining resilient connected systems.

Medical device security within the ecosystem starts from the conception of the device and continues until the final time it is decommissioned. Every phase presents a new set of risks and responsibilities for each participant, including device manufacturers, regulators, and healthcare delivery organizations. For instance:

Medical device manufacturers must develop security into products by design and produce patches to maintain security through the lifetime of a device.
Regulators serve as a critical fulcrum of the marketplace; the global regulatory bodies鈥� role is to set standards and assess the benefits versus the risks before products go to market.
Healthcare delivery organizations hold the responsibility to protect patients by managing their networks and applying patches to maintain resilience against attack.

有料盒子APP supports clients across the total product lifecycle with DevSecOps, regulatory science, cybersecurity integration, asset management, and threat hunting. It is essential to work with manufacturers, regulators, and healthcare delivery organizations to ensure patients have access to new life-saving technologies without undue risk of cyber attack.

Secure Connected Labs

Technological evolutions also advance medical research practices and improving patient care. Networked lab equipment, such as sequencers, generate vast amounts of data that no longer fit in paper notebooks or on laptop hard drives. Petabytes of genomic data often require cloud storage. Digitization of lab data and protocols drives more collaboration between research teams eager to share their findings and broaden the impact of their work. The more sharing we have taking place, the more vulnerabilities we encounter.聽

Many scientists聽need support from engineers to secure their labs and understand the full extent of cybersecurity risks. Securing this data requires the same attention to detail required to protect our most valuable assets, including competitive or proprietary research results, personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and even personal financial records.
