Post-Market Cybersecurity for Medical Devices: Ensuring Ongoing Safety and Compliance

Post-market cybersecurity for medical devices involves continuous monitoring, risk management, and regulatory compliance to address evolving threats. It includes vulnerability assessments, security patches, software updates, and incident response planning to protect device integrity and patient safety. Manufacturers must comply with FDA, EU MDR, and other international cybersecurity guidelines, ensuring proactive threat mitigation throughout a device’s lifecycle. By implementing robust security measures, tracking emerging vulnerabilities, and maintaining regulatory adherence, companies can reduce cybersecurity risks and enhance the long-term safety, performance, and reliability of medical devices in clinical use.
