Why Medical Device Cybersecurity hinges on far more than identifying risks

Effective medical cybersecurity hinges on a robust understanding of the importance of device inventory along with powerful analytics to guide clinical asset decision-making. Health systems can go a long way to ensuring medical devices are proactively maintained, risks are properly managed, and device inventory is strategically leveraged to reduce costs. Cybersecurity is just one pillar of this three-pillar approach to support medical device security and patient safety. Its efficacy overall is only as strong as the weakest pillar.
