NIST design guide could impact healthcare cybersecurity

NIST released a guide for IT developers on integrating security measures into the development process

The guide for IT developers stresses integrating security measures into the development process.

The publication helps inventors consider information security needs in all stages of the product, including how to dispose of the system while still protecting data.
