When people think about connected medical devices, they often assume the biggest cybersecurity risks exist in a patient's home. That assumption may be wrong.
In our latest Med Device Cyber Podcast episode, Ryan Neely, CEO and Co-Founder of Skribe Medical, shared a surprising lesson his team learned while developing connected healthcare technology. The concern wasn't the home environment. The concern was the hospital network.
Healthcare environments are incredibly complex. Devices connect to networks supporting thousands of users, countless applications, and a growing number of connected systems. From a security perspective, manufacturers must often assume they're deploying into environments that are already under constant attack.
This changes the conversation completely. Instead of focusing only on protecting the device, organizations must think carefully about the environment in which that device operates. It's a powerful reminder that cybersecurity doesn't stop at the product boundary.
The network matters. The workflow matters. The ecosystem matters.
For MedTech innovators building connected devices, understanding that distinction can dramatically influence security architecture decisions from day one.
