The security risk storm is here: Medical device threats are real and a patient safety risk

A recent study funded by MedCrypt found that between 100 and 1,000 patients had adverse events from compromised healthcare infrastructure cybersecurity events. This is a significant number compared to the percentage of respondents who reported risks in medical devices. The study also highlighted the lack of awareness and training among clinicians in responding to medical device hacks. The researchers emphasize the need to address these issues and view healthcare cybersecurity as a patient safety concern.
