ABSTRACT

As computer networks became more connected, medical devices became more prone to cyber-attacks. To prevent medical devices from cyber threats, recognizing the complexities and listing all the technical vulnerabilities is crucial. Protection of medical devices from cyber threats is not just a technical issue but a difficult problem to solve. Identification of vulnerabilities, as well as a review of the aspects that influence to a potentially dangerous environment, is critical for determining why the risk persists and determining the best course of action. When patient safety concerns addressed, a systematic approach is essential for such multidimensional challenges. Along with correlated and dedicated perspective it is vital to know technical controls, supremacy, flexible measures, secure reporting, experts, and modernized regulations as well as standards as patient wellbeing is in threat. To maintain patient’s safety and medical device efficacy the regulatory authorities maintain some standards and the manufacturers are mandated to demonstrate that their devices are following all the guidelines by submitting the required documents to respective regulatory authority. However a lot of work has been done in this area, there is still opportunity for more research and development. Hardware advancements will also play a significant role, as computing units get more powerful and storage capacity increases as device sizes decrease.
