DeviceTotal Empowers Healthcare Providers to Meet Regulatory Standards and Protect Medical Devices Against Cyber Threats
In today’s healthcare industry, the increasing reliance on connected medical devices, such as infusion pumps, imaging systems, and patient monitors, has introduced a new layer of vulnerability to cyber threats. As these devices become integrated into hospital networks, ensuring their cybersecurity is not just important for operational continuity but essential for patient safety and regulatory compliance.
The Growing Need for Medical Device Cybersecurity and How DeviceTotal Delivers Protection
Cyberattacks on medical devices can disrupt critical care, expose sensitive patient data, and lead to financial and reputational damage for healthcare providers. This has led to a growing emphasis on medical device cybersecurity from regulatory bodies around the world, with standards such as the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act (PMD Act) in Japan and GDPR in the European Union.
DeviceTotal addresses these concerns by offering healthcare providers a comprehensive, AI-powered platform that helps secure medical devices and network environments. The platform enables real-time vulnerability assessments, risk management, and compliance with regulatory standards. DeviceTotal’s solution provides healthcare organizations with the tools they need to safeguard their devices, protect sensitive data, and meet critical regulatory requirements.
Key Regulatory Standards Addressed by DeviceTotal
Regulatory bodies are implementing stricter requirements to ensure the security of medical devices, IoT, and OT systems.
