Join 24x7 Chief Editor Keri Stephens as she talks to Daniel dos Santos—head of security research at cybersecurity provider Forescout—about the riskiest medical devices in enterprise networks. The podcast, which follows Forescout’s Vedere Labs’ “2022 Riskiest Devices in Enterprise Networks Report,” reveals into what healthcare providers need to know about the security of the devices they house. Hint: Patient monitors are especially problematic from a cybersecurity perspective. Dos Santos also discloses how medical devices can be a key entry point for a hospital-wide cyberattack and why cybercriminals target legacy equipment, in particular. Finally, he shares why everyone—from device manufacturers to those configuring the equipment—has a role to pay in medical device cybersecurity.
