| | October 20188UTLOOK Healthcare Tech Cybersecurity is an emerging field in healthcare technology management and it is also one of the top most concern for healthcare organizations. In the last decade, healthcare technology has transformed from mostly discrete medical devices to integrated medical systems, and the industry has experienced an exponential growth of medical system integration with IT infrastructure. This technology transformation exposes these systems to cyber threats mainly due to the lack of adequate security protocols on medical devices. Additionally, poor planning on security adoption, inadequate risk assessment (due to lack of knowledge) and system design. Although the medical device technology has revolutionized, but there are still some fundamental problems with security and interoperability. Most medical devices are unique in their design The first step towards creating a robust cybersecurity program for medical devices is to identify medical devices with network capability and document all relevant IT attributes and security configurationMedical Device Security and GovernanceBy Asadullah Khan, Clinical Engineering Director, Aramark HealthcareIN MY OPINION
