Wearable medical devices are becoming increasingly common in everyday life, and thus is the reliance on them, the data they generate, and the resulting treatment plans. However, recent events in the supply chains of other devices have shown the catastrophic outcomes manipulation of them can have. In this article we showcase the importance of supply chain cybersecurity for medical devices and describe measures that can mitigate these risks.
可穿戴医疗设备在日常生活中越来越普遍,人们对它们、它们所生成的数据以及由此产生的治疗方案的依赖也是如此。然而,其他设备供应链最近发生的事件表明,对它们的操纵可能会带来灾难性后果。在本文中,我们展示了医疗设备供应链网络安全的重要性,并描述了可以降低这些风险的措施。
