Medical and IoT Device Security for Healthcare

Modern healthcare environments have undergone extensive digital transformation, introducing many connected devices, including Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technology. The new breed of connected medical devices brings the promise of improved patient care, better clinical data, improved efficiency, and reduced costs–but they also bring increased security risks. According to Armis Labs, 51% of healthcare delivery organizations reported a cyberwarfare incident in 2023, with a notable risk related to unmanaged IoT devices.

This white paper examines the security risks of medical and IoT devices that affect healthcare delivery organizations and the patients that they serve. We will also explore a solution to the security problem—one that encompasses not just biomedical devices, but all the various “smart” devices that are present in healthcare delivery organizations that add to the risk.
