As healthcare becomes more digitized, the risk of cyberattacks increases. FDA cybersecurity recommendations include implementing secure-by-design principles, conducting regular risk assessments, and maintaining device security throughout its lifecycle. Manufacturers must ensure that their devices comply with these guidelines to mitigate risks, safeguard patient data, and comply with regulatory standards.
