Establishing security inputs during medical device design and coding phases not only lays the foundation for security against the most common vulnerabilities, but also reduces future costs, as fixing problems at a later stage is more costly. Regardless of the development methodology used, the definition of security controls should start at the design stage, and continue throughout the product lifecycle to ensure that the medical device will continue to have the relevant security measures in case of changes to the initial arrangement due to business or patient needs.
