However, as of October 1, 2023, the FDA has already issued the first letters rejecting acceptance of those applications that did not meet the new cybersecurity requirements. <\/span><\/p>\n To avoid these unforeseen events, the FDA has developed a Cybersecurity Incident Preparedness and Response Manual and the Medical Device Threat Modeling Manual. Detailed documentation is a manufacturer’s best defense as it moves through the cybersecurity minefield. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”fade” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”Arial||||||||” header_3_font_size=”32px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The cybersecurity of medical devices has become a major concern for medical legislators. Cybersecurity risks are addressed in various laws that specifically focus on data, artificial intelligence (AI) and sectoral regulations (including those specific to the healthcare sector). <\/span><\/p>\n The European Medical DeviceRegulation <\/em>2017\/745( <\/em>MDR) is the legislation that details the essential safety and performance requirements that manufacturers must meet in order to market medical devices in the EU. These requirements, relevant from a cybersecurity point of view, are complemented by those of theMedical Device Coordination Group ( <\/em>MDCG), a body created by the same European Commission to provide guidance on the regulation of this sector. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Together with the Regulation, the NIS2 Directive establishes cybersecurity risk management measures and reporting obligations for entities within its scope. <\/span><\/p>\n Finally, the GeneralData Protection Regulation<\/em> or GDPR(General Data Protection Regulation<\/em> 2016\/679) contains rules for the secure processing of personal data that establish the principle of integrity and confidentiality of processing. <\/span><\/p>\n The international standard IEC 81001-5-1: 2022, already ratified by the Spanish Association for Standardization in March 2022, establishes security requirements for healthcare software. It is an essential process standard for the entire cybersecurity lifecycle. However, penetration testing and fuzzing<\/em>, both fundamental to carrying out a solid cybersecurity strategy, are described only superficially. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” background_enable_image=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”Arial||||||||” header_3_font_size=”32px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Medical software development is an essential component of modernizing and improving the healthcare industry.
