Securing the Future of Connected Healthcare

Today, hospitals and healthcare organizations worldwide are increasingly adopting internet-enabled medical equipment and devices to help improve patient care.

These technologies, coined the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), offer doctors significant benefits by diagnosing ailments faster, alerting care teams when patients fall or hurt themselves and introducing cost savings for hospitals and patients.

These technologies play a critical role in revolutionizing healthcare and making it faster and more accessible for patients. However, as with any internet connectivity, one main drawback to IoMT is that it potentially makes critical hospital equipment and people vulnerable to cyberattacks and hacking.

As a result, cybersecurity must be a priority for all healthcare organizations. So, what are the best ways for them to realize the benefits of IoMT without compromising patient safety?
