Cybersecurity for Medical Devices: How to Effectively Protect Your Systems

As digital health applications (DiGA), Digital Therepeutics (DTx), medical software and connected medical devices continue to evolve, cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s mission-critical. Cybersecurity protects not only the underlying IT infrastructure, but also the integrity of patient data and device performance. At BAYOOMED, we help you navigate this complex terrain with proven expertise and tailored solutions.

Why Cybersecurity Matters in MedTech

Patient safety and data privacy are at the heart of every medical innovation. Protecting both against cyber threats is essential — not only to meet regulatory demands but to maintain trust and compliance. Regulations such as the EU MDR, BSI guidelines (e.g. TR-03161), MDCG 2019-16, and the FDA’s cybersecurity guidance set clear expectations for secure development and lifecycle management of medical devices.
