The growing shadow in medical care: ensure the vulnerable supply chain

In the current hyperconnected medical care environment, the supply chain has silently become one of the most vulnerable digital borders in the sector. Once seen purely as a logistics or acquisition function, the modern medical care chain now includes everything, from pharmaceutical distributors and cloud -based software suppliers to diagnostic platforms and medical devices manufacturers. This expansive ecosystem, although critical for patient care, is also under siege and should be protected.

Cybercriminals have recognized this opportunity. Instead of directing hospitals, they are increasingly violating third -party suppliers to interrupt services, access to confidential data and maintain the hostage of critical systems for patients. The implications are of great reach, which leads to delayed treatments, committed medical equipment, critical supplies and the alarming risk of counterfeit or manipulated materials that enter the system.
