Medical Device Security Testing

Overview : Medical Device Security Testing

Medical Device Penetration Testing analyses possible design flaws in the device’s hardware, software, and communication mechanisms that might undermine its security. It assists organisations in understanding the security implications of their devices and how to improve their security maturity. Examining every conceivable software fault is part of the security testing method for medical equipment. Modern penetration testing methodologies allow for precise analysis of the internet safety of medical and healthcare equipment.

Methodology

Black Box

Black Box testing is a sort of software testing in which no prior knowledge of an application's underlying code structure, implementation details, or internal routes is necessary. It is also known as behavioural testing or external testing at times. It focuses on the application's input and output and is entirely dependent on the software's needs and standards.

Gray Box

Gray box testing, a software testing approach that combines black box and white box testing, is used to test an application without having a comprehensive understanding of its source code. It searches for and locates context-specific mistakes produced by bad coding in the programme.

White Box

White box testing examines the underlying structure, code, and architecture of a piece of software to validate the input-output flow and improve the application's design, security, and functionality. This type of testing is also known as internal testing, clear box testing, open box testing, and glass box testing since the testers can see the code.

Our Approach

Information Gathering

The medical security testing approach’s information collection step is critical. The preparation will consist of document reviews and team meetings. The idea is for us to become acquainted with the product and develop a plan ahead of time. This allows us to maximise our time on location.

Planning

Following information obtained through different informative technologies or manual browsing, the following stage demands thorough planning and investigation. The definition of penetration testing goals serves as the beginning point for planning. The tester and client then collaborate to set the goals, ensuring that everyone engaged has the same understanding of the aims./p>

Vulnerability Detection

The client’s premises will be used for the cybersecurity assessment and penetration test against your equipment. Our testing will include locating all ports of entrance into the system, such as Ethernet (LAN), Fiber, WiFi, USB, Serial Port, HDMI, and others (we’ll also check for more), as well as detecting and exploiting vulnerabilities associated with each point of entry.

Reporting

The reporting step’s goals are to present, rank, and prioritise results while also providing project stakeholders with a clear, actionable report with supporting data. At Kratikal, we believe this to be the most important step, thus we take great effort to ensure that the significance of our results and service has been effectively explained.

FAQs

What kind of certification exists in medical security for cyber security?

HCISPP (Healthcare Information Security and Privacy Practitioner), which is offered by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2, is the most well-known certification in medical cyber security. Other certifications include CHDA (Certified Health Data Analyst), CPHIMS (Certified Professional in Healthcare Information & Management Systems), and CAHIMS (Certified Associate in Healthcare Information and Management Systems).

What are the cyber risks in Healthcare?

Major cyber risks and threats in the healthcare and medical sector are –
a) Data breaches
b) Malware and Ransomware
c) DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks
d) Insider Threats
e) Phishing Attacks
f) Cloud Threats

What is Healthcare Cyber Security?

Cyber security in the healthcare business refers to the safeguarding and securing of medical equipment and systems that contain digital data or information. In the healthcare business, assurance of security refers to the protection of data and medical records at a hospital or other medical facility.

What are mediacal device cybersecurity standards?

The US FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) is the widely respected standard that offers recommendations related to medical software and technology. The EU R (European Union Regulation) standard is also inferior to the US FDA. They offer rules that align security requirements with ISO norms.
