How to meet the dual needs of security and confidentiality of medical devices?

< CodeSonar Release the latest white paper on using static analysis to meet the security and confidentiality of medical devices >

Same as other industries , The medical industry is rapidly moving towards digitization and automation . In the process of exchanging data or connecting sensors , Wireless connection is becoming more and more important , But it also increases certain security risks , For example, the failure of software or hardware is easy to lead to potential attack vulnerabilities , Form safety hazards that cannot be evaluated , Ultimately threaten the life safety of patients .

With the continuous progress of R & D technology in the medical field , More stringent standards and regulations have been put forward for the compliance of medical equipment , This includes the development process and quality management of the whole product life cycle . Medical equipment must verify the overall risk to patients before it can be approved for use , Unlike cars , Despite the use of modern technology , The inherent risks will still exist . However , At present, the quality control of medical equipment products in the market is relatively poor , Therefore, in order to avoid harm to patients , Change is necessary . How to make the software and embedded system in medical equipment efficient, safe and reliable , Meeting product compliance standards is a major challenge that developers are facing .

All the safety of software and its standards depend largely on validation and verification , To prove the accuracy of its function , And patients / The user's use risk can be reduced . For verification, testing is crucial , However , In the case of verification , Traditional function testing has some disadvantages ： for example , The target environment for executable code and simulation must be available , This is difficult to achieve in the early stages of the development process .
