Medical devices, including patient monitors and imaging systems, are increasingly a target for cyberattacks. Attackers exploit vulnerabilities to access sensitive patient data and disrupt critical healthcare services. In addressing this urgent global threat, GDHP collaborated with Singapore agency Synapxe and authority MOH to develop the GDHP Guidance for Medical Device Cybersecurity (GMDC).
Based on international regulatory requirements and standards, and leveraging Singapore’s existing cybersecurity framework, the Guidance for Medical Device Cybersecurity is designed to be both robust and forward-thinking.
This Guidance is an openly available, sound practice resource for medical device developers and manufacturers and healthcare purchasers to uplift cybersecurity practices through secure deployment and usage of medical devices.
