How AI Raises Threats for Legacy Medical Devices
Artificial intelligence can speed up the identification of vulnerabilities in medical devices, posing a considerable concern when in the hands of threat actors. Legacy medical devices, which can be bought cheaply on the aftermarket, are particularly at risk of being exploited by attackers using AI tools.
Legacy medical devices are a major concern for cybersecurity. These devices, often used for over a decade, can be bought cheaply on the aftermarket. Attackers can use AI tools to find vulnerabilities in these devices. Jason Sinchak, CEO of Elton, warns that this poses a significant threat to patient care. Hospitals and clinics have many older devices, which can be exploited by attackers. AI can help manufacturers and healthcare organizations improve their medical device vulnerability management programs.
