Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Protect medical devices with lifecycle security strategies that safeguard patients Connected medical devices from pacemakers to diagnostic imaging systems present unique cybersecurity vulnerabilities that directly impact patient safety. Cybersecurity for Medical Devices provides healthcare cybersecurity professionals and medical device engineers with actionable guidance on embedding security throughout the device lifecycle. Written by a Certified Health Data Analyst and cybersecurity specialist, this book integrates clinical realities with technical security frameworks. The book delivers step-by-step instruction in risk assessment, threat modeling, device architecture review, regulatory compliance, and incident response. It addresses how security measures must integrate with fast-paced healthcare delivery environments while establishing cybersecurity as an ethical imperative. Real-world examples ground theoretical concepts in documented incidents, tracing the evolution from security through obscurity to sophisticated threat models. The book also provides: - Comprehensive frameworks for embedding security from device conception through decommission, addressing each phase of the medical device lifecycle systematically - Detailed threat modeling approaches specific to networked medical equipment including implantable devices, diagnostic systems, and hospital network infrastructure - Guidance on navigating regulatory compliance requirements while maintaining operational efficiency in high-pressure clinical environments and healthcare delivery settings - Ethical frameworks positioning cybersecurity as a patient safety imperative rather than merely a technical checkbox or compliance requirement - Historical context explaining how medical device security evolved alongside increasingly sophisticated cyberattack methodologies targeting healthcare systems Healthcare cybersecurity professionals, medical device engineers, regulatory compliance officers, and clinical IT managers will find this book connects security expertise with medical device engineering realities. Researchers and advanced students studying healthcare technology security gain practical frameworks applicable to emerging connected device challenges.
