In today’s digital healthcare landscape, IoT devices—from smart infusion pumps to remote monitoring tools—are transforming patient care. However, these devices also introduce new vulnerabilities, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. Protecting them is critical not only for data privacy but also for patient safety.
Key Steps to Secure Healthcare IoT Devices:
- Network Segmentation: Isolate IoT devices from critical systems to limit exposure in case of a breach.
- Regular Firmware Updates: Ensure devices run the latest firmware to patch known vulnerabilities.
- Strong Authentication: Replace default credentials with strong, unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication.
- Continuous Monitoring: Use advanced tools to detect unusual behavior or unauthorized access.
- Data Encryption: Encrypt data both in transit and at rest to prevent interception and tampering.
