Engineers have developed innovative hardware solutions to treat various medical conditions that provide medical patients with better health outcomes. These devices can be found in hospitals, medical clinics, homes, and even implanted in individuals. The patients experience freedom from extended hospital stays and can spend time with their family and loved ones. Unfortunately, these devices are susceptible to threats ranging from recalls to software and hardware cybersecurity vulnerabilities and even malware. These issues threaten patient safety and undermine public trust. Engineers continue to evaluate these cybersecurity concerns and design solutions for them. However, there is a gap in the cybersecurity defenses. This research evaluates whether medical professionals and medical device suppliers have adequate cybersecurity training, awareness, and education to be effective as the first line of cybersecurity defense. Regrettably, this research paints a bleak picture and provides a foundation for further research into this vital topic.
