What hospital execs should be asking medical device vendors about cybersecurity

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting medical devices with ransomware and other malware due to their vulnerability and the leverage they provide in demanding payment. Hospital CIOs and CISOs should take steps to protect health data and ensure the security of medical devices. Manufacturers must improve device security, and hospitals should educate patients about potential risks. Internal and external security audits can help assess risks and determine whether to replace legacy systems.
