The FDA has issued updated guidance on medical device cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for manufacturers to adopt proactive security measures.
The new guidance promotes a “security by design” approach, requiring manufacturers to continuously monitor and address vulnerabilities in a timely manner.
It also emphasizes the importance of software supply chain security and the provision of a comprehensive software bill of materials (SBOM).
The guidance aims to address the risks of inadequate device security, including potential physical threats to patients and breaches of sensitive data.
Manufacturers are advised to implement holistic security, utilize application security testing technologies, automate security checks, and collaborate with stakeholders.
Adhering to these recommendations will help ensure patient safety and data integrity in the face of evolving cyber threats.
