Cyber security in the medical sector
The medical sector sees itself as part of critical infrastructures (KRITIS) and, in the context of the new NIS2 directive, particularly in the focus of cyber attacks. The challenges for companies and institutions in this area are manifold.
Three main problems that frequently occur are
Risk of attack due to outdated medical technology (operational technology)
Many clinics and healthcare facilities use older medical devices that are difficult to keep up with current cyber security measures. Regular software updates are often not possible, which presents a large attack surface.
Compliance with NIS2 and other regulatory requirements
In addition to the NIS2 directive, facilities in the medical sector must increasingly meet more extensive requirements, including ISO 27001, BSI IT baseline protection and various industry-specific security standards. Implementation is complex and requires well thought-out management that pushes many organizations to their limits.
Protection against insider threats
Whether accidental mistakes or deliberate actions, insider threats are a serious danger. Without regular training and clear guidelines, security gaps and data breaches can occur with serious consequences, especially in the medical sector.
