Re: "the company can't update devices directly"
How they are updated should be a consideration before onboarding any IOT device.

Re: Affected devices
With the sheer number of devices you would need them to check into a hub locally and then check in remotely. Either way thats going to be heavy on network throughput.

Re: "the company can't update devices directly"
Most definitely and I think they should continue to prioritize health objectives ahead of security when medical devices can save lives. But there still needs to be security in mind because if not then those same devices could be used to cause harm.

Updates and repairs
“ This could prove tricky, he notes, as medical devices are critical and may not be available for updates at any time.” Yes. All these devices should get updates remotely. Maybe having spares so no need to wait for the repairs.

Affected devices
“ For hospitals, the challenging part is finding those affected devices," says Luz. If you're responsible for security at a hospital with 10,000 connected products of different models and vendors, locating the vulnerable ones will be difficult.“ This would be almost impossible unless devices somehow scan able remotely.

Re: "the company can't update devices directly"
“ Unfortunately, in many cases such as this I noticed that the HCP is slow to react historically.” I agree. Also I do not believe neither hospitals nor medical provided accept dramatic change in their processes so that makes it harder.

Re: "the company can't update devices directly"
“ This puts the accountability back on the healthcare providers that are providing these devices. ” I agree. Most these devices were build convenience in mind so security will certainly suffer.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
