Pervasive healthcare cybersecurity weaknesses
The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the healthcare sector has helped patients and doctors alike, notably in monitoring patients' state of health in real time. However, it has brought the rise of various security issues like data and operation compromise and ransomware attacks.
Recently, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) introduced a labelling scheme for medical devices that allows healthcare providers to make informed decisions in accordance with their cybersecurity policy. The move also incentivises manufacturers to develop more secure medical devices to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of the healthcare sector.
