Why the FDA is Mandating Security

Several trends are impacting connected medical devices. Cybersecurity is critical as there are financial, data, and operational risks. More importantly, patient safety depends on it. 

Security Trends Impacting Healthcare Devices:

  • Significant growth in network-connected medical devices – 22% annual growth over the next 5 years.
  • Software complexity - more lines if code means more bugs. More bugs means more vulnerabilities.
  • Software supply chain is being exploited
  • Widely adopted technology, such as Ethernet & Linux, have known exploits
  • Skill gap – over 300K unfilled cybersecurity positions

IoT Security Trends and Why the FDA is Mandating Security

In March 2023 the FDA issued : “Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Refuse to Accept Policy for Cyber Devices and Related Systems"

Medical Page Graphics3 Medical Page Graphics3

A medical device is classified as a “cyber device”, meaning that it needs security, if it:

  • Has software
  • Has a network interface (or a USB interface)
  • Could be adversely affected by a cyber-attack

​For pre-market submissions , medical devices manufacturers must:

  • Have a process that considers security from the start
  • Make sure devices are secure, including testing
  • Provide a software bill of materials
  • Submit a plan to monitor and address post market cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
  • Support a software update process for in field devices to address identified vulnerabilities.
