Healthcare IT professionals need to update patches in connected medical devices as soon as possible to help prevent cyberattacks. According to a Nov. 29 Capterra news release, 68 percent of healthcare organizations don’t always update connected devices when a patch is available.
“As a healthcare organization connects more medical devices to its network, its attack surface expands,” Zach Capers, a senior security analyst at Capterra, said. “Connected medical devices often go unmonitored for security vulnerabilities, and because they run on a wide array of software and hardware platforms, it’s difficult to monitor with a single tool. This means that many connected medical devices are left wide open to cyberattacks.”
