OWASP Secure Medical Devices Deployment Standard

OWASP Secure Medical Devices Deployment Standard

Release Date: 08/07/2018

Many medical devices were engineered with patient safety as the sole functions of the device and traditionally little attention was paid to the security of these devices. With the explosion of botnets and other malware that now target IoT devices, the need for security-minded deployments of medical devices is now more essential than ever. This guide is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to the secure deployment of medical devices within a healthcare facility.
