Why do Hackers Attack Home Health and Medical Devices? And what can manufacturers do to stop them? Watch this short 5 minute video interview with Sean Fenske, editor in chief for Medical Product Outsourcing Magazine (https://www.mpo-mag.com) and Alan Grau, Sectigo’s VP of IoT & Embedded Solutions (https://sectigo.com).
Why are hackers increasingly targeting hospitals and medical facilities?
Alan Grau explains how manufacturers can protect their mobile and home health devices. His five major points are:
1. Don’t assume that hackers won’t find your devices.
2. Use secure boot to protect device software updates.
3. Make sure that firewall and intrusion detection is in place.
4. Encrypt data in place as well as all communications.
5. Make it easy for users to change the default passwords.
