Connected medical devices have enabled doctors to improve patient diagnoses and treatment, remotely monitor chronic diseases and cut costs while enhancing care outcomes among many other benefits. However, the more devices that are connected means the more targets there are for attackers who want to remotely take over, reprogram and/or disable a device, steal its…

Most of today’s medical devices were built without security in mind. The level of risk posed by these devices depends on their designs and the associated clinical workflows. For instance, heart defibrillators, insulin pumps, and glucose meters can be wirelessly hijacked and reprogrammed. Other device vulnerabilities are exploited by diabetes patients who are exploring new…

In May 2019 an FDA safety warning about unauthorized automated insulin dosing systems highlighted a major vulnerability that is present in all connected medical devices. A flaw in an FDA-authorized insulin pump had enabled it to be re-programmed for use with an unauthorized device to create a customized treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Cybercriminals can exploit this…

Internet-of-things (IoT) security seems to be passing through various phases as a topic. It started as, “Wait, what? I need security? But why???” Frankly, we probably haven’t moved completely out of that one, but we’ve made progress. Next comes, “What does security mean?” And that continues as well. But a third phase has started, and…
