Medical devices – cybersecurity

Cybersecurity has become a fundamental requirement for connected medical devices, systems, and hospital networks. Connectivity and networking of medical devices and systems enables new, advanced services, as well as significant efficiency gains. Real-time availability of data and remote monitoring and control capabilities offer significant value and cost benefits. However, connectivity also entails risks and opens products and systems to cyber threats. Previous cases of hacks on medical devices such as insulin pumps and pacemakers highlight these risks. Real attacks on hospital networks are increasingly taking place, leading to downtime and cancellation of treatments. This can have fatal consequences for patients.

Regulators worldwide have taken action and formulated cybersecurity requirements for medical devices, systems, and networks. Compliance is required in all major markets. SGS offers a comprehensive range of services in the cybersecurity field. These services extend from training, audits, vulnerability assessments, reviews, and cybersecurity testing to certification services.
