White Paper
Emerging Cyber Threats and Solutions for Healthcare Systems and Medical Devices
As healthcare becomes more connected through AI, IoMT devices, telemedicine, robotics, and remote patient monitoring, cyber risks are expanding rapidly. This HCLTech white paper examines emerging threats including ransomware, AI-powered attacks, device manipulation, supply chain compromises, and vulnerabilities across IT, OT, and connected medical devices that can jeopardize both patient safety and sensitive health data. It emphasizes adopting a security-by-design approach throughout the medical device lifecycle, implementing Zero Trust architectures, continuous monitoring, AI-driven threat detection, robust identity and access management, and compliance with evolving healthcare regulations. The report concludes that cybersecurity must become a foundational element of digital healthcare innovation, enabling organizations to improve resilience while safely accelerating connected care and AI adoption.
