DESCRIPTION

Connected medical devices though make remote monitoring and care giving easier for stakeholders, the issue of cyber security is raising its ugly head in this domain too. As hospitals, array of medical devices, implanted devices and caregivers are being interconnected through sophisticated networks; hackers too are busy mechanizing ways to gain access to sensitive data that lies within. The solution is a multi-pronged approach, HCL explains.

Vulnerabilities of Medical Devices

Wireless Medical Devices are More Prone to Cyber Attacks than Wired Ones

Tampering Implanted Devices May Cause Death of Patient and Ruin Manufacturers Reputation

Wireless Medical Devices Can Be Hacked Even from a Distance of 300-Feet

As Implantable Medical Devices are Not Self Powered, They Cannot Be Made to Run Security Measures Continually

Access to In Vivo Medical Devices Cannot be Password Protected

Authorizations to Access Medical Devices Cannot Be Set at Present

Medical Devices are Increasingly Getting Connected to Internet, Smartphones, Networks and Apps Making Them Susceptible to Cyber Attacks
