We are rapidly reaching a point where, as connected devices for monitoring and treating diabetes and other diseases become more pervasive and powerful, the likelihood of malicious medical device hacking (known as "medjacking") is growing. While government could increase regulation, we have all been witness in recent times to the limitations and issues surrounding exclusive reliance on government. Herein we outline a preliminary framework for establishing security for wireless health devices based on international common criteria. Creation of an independent medical device cybersecurity body is suggested. The goal is to allow for continued growth and innovation while simultaneously fostering security, public trust, and confidence.
随着用于监测和治疗糖尿病及其他疾病的联网设备变得越来越普及和强大,恶意医疗设备黑客攻击(即“医疗设备劫持”)的可能性正在增加。虽然政府可以加强监管,但我们最近都目睹了单纯依赖政府所存在的局限性和问题。在此,我们概述了一个基于国际通用标准为无线健康设备建立安全保障的初步框架。建议设立一个独立的医疗设备网络安全机构。目标是在促进安全、公众信任和信心的同时,实现持续增长和创新。
