In 2023, the FDA announced regulatory changes to address the historical lack of security standards for new and in-market products, requiring manufacturers to submit Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), along with plans for monitoring, identifying and addressing cybersecurity issues in their devices.
The FDA’s announcement marked a major shift in the healthcare ecosystem. It’s a step in the right direction—but for manufacturers struggling with budgetary constraints and device sprawl, ensuring new and existing medical devices live up to the new standards is a heavy lift.
