Cybersecurity Risks of Surgical Robots in Healthcare

As surgical robotics become more common, so does the need to address their cybersecurity risks. Threats include operational disruptions like ransomware attacks and DDoS attacks, unauthorized access by hackers, and data breaches from interception of unencrypted data transmission. Implementing robust access controls, ensuring system resilience, and enhancing data security are strategies healthcare organizations can use to mitigate these risks and safeguard patient data.
