European cybersecurity agencies have warned that with the gradual application of IoT technology, the risk of hospital attacks is also exponential.
Ransomware and denial of service attacks are just the tip of the iceberg: hospitals are about to become the next big target for cyberattacks, and the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) devices will make medical systems more vulnerable.
Networked medical devices can provide more protection for patient safety and improve efficiency. The advantages are especially obvious when connecting with clinical information systems. However, the European Technical Security Agency Enisa warned that these technologies have also brought certain risk.

The hospital will become the next target of cyber attacks
In order to better serve and even care for patients remotely, the hospital has gradually turned to various smart solutions, sometimes ignoring these emerging security issues.
Enisa warned that the hospital will be the next target for cyber attacks.
With the introduction of these connected devices, the possibility of hospital attacks is also growing exponentially. Healthcare organizations should identify the security requirements for various IoT components and determine how they relate to each other or to the Internet. According to the report, equipment manufacturers should consider the hospital from the perspective of designing systems and services.
Udo Helmbrecht, executive director of ENISA, said that when devices are connected to each other, people make decisions that allow devices to provide automated services that increase hospital efficiency, but at the same time, devices can be affected by malicious instructions.
