Adoption of Medical IoT in healthcare organizations continues to surge
Gaining momentum during the pandemic , the expanded use of connected medical devices has become a fundamental part of the healthcare system . Medical IoT ’ s irrevocable transformation of the healthcare industry was evident after the pandemic .
With steady growth over the past decade , connected medical device use has exploded . Medical IoT devices are now routinely used across the continuum of care . However , security for these connected devices has lagged .
» 75 % of infusion pumps have unpatched vulnerabilities
» 72 % of healthcare providers have a mix of IT and clinical IoT devices in the same VLANs
Trust-based security is the weakest link
Medical IoT devices provide a tremendously expanded attack surface with a remarkably low barrier to entry for cyber attackers .
Healthcare providers must adopt a new security paradigm to combat these threats . �
Across the healthcare industry , the security risk exposure of IoT devices is high :
» 41 % of attacks exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices
» 57 % of medium to high-severity attacks occur on medical IoT devices
» 83 % of medical imaging systems run on unsupported operating systems
