Cybersecurity for medical devices focuses on protecting systems and data from unauthorized access and threats through measures like encryption, authentication, access controls, and updates. The FDA's recommendations stressed the importance of adding security measures to devices. Issues including device complexity, outdated systems, and supply chain vulnerabilities make security more challenging. The FDA is in charge of cybersecurity regulations for medical devices in the US, which prioritize secure design, risk management, and lifetime threat monitoring through premarket and post-market standards. Important frameworks like the 21st Century Cures Act address vulnerabilities, yet there are still problems with standardizing practices and protecting legacy technology. AI-driven security and stricter laws to improve gadget safety are examples of emerging developments. In conclusion, robust cybersecurity laws are necessary to protect medical devices against changing online threats while maintaining patient safety and data integrity.
