COMPLY WITH FDA’S CYBERSECURITY REQUIREMENTS
The FDA’s Role in Keeping Medical Devices Cyber Secure
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates medical devices and works aggressively to reduce cybersecurity risks in what is a rapidly changing environment. The following medical device cybersecurity awareness video is provided by FDA’s medical device cybersecurity team:
Implement Medical Device Security Best Practices
Limit access to trusted users through passwords, usernames, smartcards, biometrics, automatic timers, and physical locks.
Ensure that only trusted content is within the device and/or system by measures such as restricting updates to the same or using encryption.
Detect and respond to hacking attempts with security compromise alerts.
Leverage a structured and systematic approach to identify, characterize, and assess cybersecurity vulnerabilities
