Once deployed, their connectivity to hospital networks and other systems exposes them to network-based threats such as ransomware, unauthorized access, and data exfiltration. Many IoMT devices lack robust security features like encryption or regular patching mechanisms, making them attractive targets for attackers seeking to exploit outdated protocols or misconfigurations. These threats not only jeopardize patient privacy and safety, but also threaten the operational continuity of healthcare providers, underscoring the critical need for end-to-end security measures spanning procurement, deployment, and ongoing device management.
