Awareness is growing that biomedical devices, as well as other medical devices, have inherent security vulnerabilities that can give hackers access to a hospital’s network.
In response, data security consultancy CynergisTek recently launched a biomedical device service assessment service and already has an undisclosed number of hospitals, clinics, imaging centers and reference labs taking advantage of the service.
The enterprise-wide assessment covers biomedical and clinical devices to identify gaps, vulnerabilities and additional risks, while also providing recommendations for improving overall device security.
