UNDERSTANDING THE INDUSTRY
The Medical Device Cybersecurity Industry is Growing. We Know, We’ve Been There Since the Beginning.
Limited Human Capital
This is a rapidly expanding space and there is a significant shortage in cybersecurity professionals, let alone ones that have experience in healthcare. Organizations are taking months to find a candidate to hire and then 12-18 months to properly train them. So, you’re looking at investing >2 years in a person before they are in a position to positively impact the organization.
Growing Requirements
Regulatory agencies and customers are enhancing and expanding their requirements of device manufacturers. This combined with the ever-growing list of industry standards is making it a challenge with medical device manufacturers to keep up and ensure they are managing cybersecurity properly.
Managing Risks
Technology is growing at a rapid pace in healthcare, but the ability to secure it is struggling to keep up. Healthcare continues to be one of the biggest targets of cyber attacks and enhancing technology increases risk. The difference with healthcare is the impact is human life. It literally can be a matter of life and death.
Highest Quality
APRACITI was started to help medical technology companies that do not have the cybersecurity knowledge or expertise required. We do not want cybersecurity to be a roadblock in getting a new lifesaving technology to market, rather our goal is to support these organizations so they can bring safe, secure, trustworthy devices of the highest quality to market.
