In response to escalating cyber threats, a new suite of services aims to protect medical devices and digital health systems.
Full Spectrum, a product development and engineering services company specializing in the medical device, digital health, and life science industries, announced it has unveiled a new suite of cybersecurity services.
With cybersecurity continuing to escalate in importance, the services aim to address the critical need companies have for ensuring privacy, safety, and reliability in a world that is becoming more and more interconnected.
A report by the FBI found that over half of connected medical devices in hospitals had known critical vulnerabilities, and 40% of devices at the end-of-life stage had little or no security patches. Additional research identified close to 1,000 security vulnerabilities across 966 tested medical devices in 2023—a 59% year-over-year increase from 2022. As security risks continue to surge, it’s essential that health technology organizations prioritize cybersecurity to safeguard against breaches and protect consumers’ and patients’ welfare.
New Cybersecurity Services
Full Spectrum’s suite of cybersecurity services include:
- Cybersecurity portfolio risk analysis
- Cybersecurity process and tools assessment and remediation
- Product cybersecurity assessment and remediation
- Software bill of materials and system vulnerability assessment and monitoring
- Cybersecurity architecture
“Trust in medical devices, health information systems, medical mobile applications, and robotic systems is based on the expectation of stringent cybersecurity. As medical technologies are increasingly connected, this only continues to grow in importance,” says Adam Hesse, CEO of Full Spectrum, in a release. “We have the deep knowledge and experience to offer customized cybersecurity solutions that protect organizations’—and patients’ and consumers’—sensitive data, secure devices, and guarantee adherence to changing regulatory standards to ensure compliance.”
