Cyber attacking medical devices

March 16, 2018 by Neil Y. Rushi 1 Comment

http://www.zdnet.com/article/iot-security-warning-cyber-attacks-on-medical-devices-could-put-patients-at-risk/

Here is another example of why the government, the health industry, cyber security experts and device makers should come together – medical devices have evolved to be considered Internet of things (IoT) and need to be protected because they are attached to human beings and since they rely on internet, cyber attacks could cause massive harm to these people. The article explains why we need all the necessary parties to come together to incorporate protection and plan for the events that may take place so the patients are not harmed in anyway.

    I definitely agree to this article that medical industry needs an overhaul and a complete change in the way security is handled at different levels. Handling alone might not be useful and all stakeholders including governments, doctors, and cyber experts need to come together to form a partnership on implementation of cyber security.
