Security is critical in the management of medical IoT devices
As connected medical devices proliferate so do security vulnerabilities that can put patient’s lives at risk. Medical device providers need transparent, robust and secure over-the-air software updates to deliver all the necessary updates in a single process. These include device improvement updates, security updates and bug fixes. Stringent security steps should be taken by implementing secure boot, network stack hardening, and public key encryption.

How Mender delivers on priorities
Reduce the costs
Delta update allows for deployment of considerably smaller update payloads, minimizing the use of cellular network data costs and download times
Improve efficiency
Administering device groups simplifies fleet management of connected diagnostic products which could be deployed by individual doctors’ offices or related clinical sites
Enhance security
Ability to sign and verify artifacts supports the security compliance needs with appropriate precautions taken at the server end. This avoids the possibility of receiving and applying a malicious update
