Objective: Cybersecurity is a high priority for physicians, hospitals, and manufacturers of all internet-connected devices, and even more so when patient safety and health information is at stake. DITTA continues to be pro-active and lead efforts to strengthen cybersecurity for medical technologies. Because cybersecurity is not only the responsibility of industry but goes beyond, collaboration between regulators, healthcare providers and industry is required to safeguard the patients' protected health information and their physical safety.
