Medical devices increasingly depend on software. While this expands the ability of devices to perform key therapeutic and diagnostic functions, reliance on software inevitably causes exposure to hazards of security vulnerabilities. This article uses a recent high-profile case example to outline a proactive approach to security awareness that incorporates a scientific, risk-based analysis of security concerns that supports ongoing discussions with patients about their medical devices.
医疗设备越来越依赖软件。虽然这扩展了设备执行关键治疗和诊断功能的能力，但对软件的依赖不可避免地会导致面临安全漏洞的风险。本文通过一个近期备受瞩目的案例，概述一种积极主动的安全意识方法，该方法纳入了对安全问题的基于科学、风险的分析，以支持与患者就其医疗设备进行持续讨论。
