FDA exec on cybersecurity: Hospitals, healthcare providers under constant attack

The US FDA and MITRE are working together to improve the security of critical medical devices from cyberattacks. They recommend that manufacturers and healthcare organizations incorporate threat monitoring and cyber hygiene to prevent attacks and respond to vulnerabilities. The FDA is collaborating with MITRE to develop a medical device vulnerability ecosystem that will share cybersecurity information between government and private sector stakeholders. The FDA’s strategies have evolved in recent years to address the changing threats and vulnerabilities in medical devices.
