Collaborative Security for Medical Devices – Best Practices for Device Manufacturers and Healthcare Delivery Organisations

The proliferation of connected medical devices continues to introduce new cybersecurity risks that could impact patient safety and the security and privacy of patient data. To address these challenges, it is imperative that medical device manufacturers (MDMs) and healthcare delivery organisations (HDOs) collaborate effectively and prioritise medical device security (including design, implementation and maintenance) as a key priority for both entities. HDOs and MDMs can draw on guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as industry standards from the National Institute on Standards and Technology (NIST) and key regulatory requirements like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule as best practices.
