FDA Safety Communication Cybersecurity for Medical Devices and Hospital Networks... 

In Jnne 2013, the FDA recommended that medical device manufacturers and healthcare facilities take steps to assnre that appropriate safeguards reduce the risk of failure due to cyber-attack, which could be initiated by the introduction of malware into the medical equipment or unauthorized access to configuration settings in medical devices and hospital networks. Many medical devices contain confignrable embedded compnter systems that can be vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches. In addition, as medical devices become increasingly interconnected, via the Internet, hospital networks, other medical device, and smartphones, there is an increased risk of cybersecurity breaches, which could affect how a medical device operates. Recently, the FDA has become aware... 

Protect individual components from exploitation and develop strategies for active security protection appropriate for the device s use environment. Such strategies should include timely deployment of routine, validated security patches and methods to restrict software or firmware updates to authenticated code. Note The FDA typically does not need to review or approve medical device software changes made solely to strengthen cybersecurity. 

Provide methods for retention and recovery after an incident with security compromises. Cybersecurity incidents can occur, and manufacturers should consider incident response plans that address the possibility of degraded operation and efficient restoration and recovery.

FDA draft guidance (Nonbinding Recommendations) Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices , chapter 4 Ensure secure data transfer to and from the device, and when appropriate, use accepted methods for encryption [8]... 

The above mentioned draft guidance released in June 2013 by the FDA, also demands that medical device manufacturers should define and document their cybersecurity risk analysis and management plan as part of the required risk analysis. Although the lEC 14971 risk management process never is mentioned explicitly, the idea of extending the required analysis towards security-induced hazardous situations obviously would satisfy the intention of the EDA guidance. 

Cybersecurity and cybersafety are topics that have spawned from the computer security domain since the profusion of Internet-based systems. Businesses rely on a vast array of computer networks to communicate, plan, provide services, and literally run our economy. The cyber aspect denotes the ability to remotely, if not virtually, access an organization s networked computer systems.
