Healthcare Software Security: Protecting Medical Device Supply Chains
The digitization of healthcare has brought about transformative changes, with medical devices now interconnected and reliant on complex software supply chains. Hospital networks, diagnostic tools, patient monitoring systems, and even implanted devices increasingly depend on software components sourced from global repositories. While this enables innovation and improved patient outcomes, it also introduces unique security and compliance challenges. In regulated industries like healthcare, software supply chain security is not just a matter of best practice—it is a regulatory and patient safety imperative.
