Abstract

Medical devices are essential for modern healthcare, but their increasing connectivity exposes them to cyber threats. Vulnerabilities in outdated systems, weak authentication, and lack of standardized security measures have made these devices prime targets for cyberattacks. This paper examines critical cybersecurity challenges in medical devices, highlighting real-world breaches and their impact on patient safety. Proposed solutions focus on integrating security into the development lifecycle, strengthening encryption and authentication, and ensuring regular updates to mitigate risks. The role of healthcare providers in cybersecurity management is also emphasized. Additionally, AI-driven threat detection and blockchain technology offer innovative approaches to protecting sensitive medical data. Future efforts must prioritize cross-industry collaboration, policy development, and global security standards to ensure resilient medical device infrastructure. Addressing these challenges is essential to protect patient lives, maintain trust in medical technology, and strengthen the security of healthcare systems.
