The way we work has drastically changed since the start of the pandemic.

Across a health system’s digital terrain, the most vulnerable assets are connected medical devices. If those devices become compromised, the infiltration could impact a patient’s privacy, health and safety.

According to Deloitte, an estimated 70% of medical devices will be connected by 2023.
Apple has recently released OS updates for multiple operating systems, addressing known and exploited security vulnerabilities along with previously unknown ones. During the past week, various data security organizations like the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Indian Computer Emergency Response Team have issued warnings asking users to install the latest updates on their Apple devices as soon as possible to avoid possible exploitation of devices and device data.
