More than half of hospitals’ connected medical devices and IoT platforms operate with a known critical vulnerability

More than half of hospitals’ connected medical devices and IoT platforms operate with a known critical vulnerability, with the greatest risks found in IV pumps, according to a recent report from Cynerio.

Cynerio researchers analyzed more than 10 million IoT and IoMT devices from current Cynerio implementations at over 300 hospitals and healthcare facilities globally and in the U.S.

The report found one-third of bedside healthcare IoT devices have an identified critical list. It’s a serious patient safety risk, as they’re directly connected to patient care.
