The Victorian government is funding a trial of a two-layered security solution from Israeli company Bio-Nexus that it claims is the only physical cybersecurity solution protecting medical devices available on the market.
The $457,000 trial of the Cyber-Nexus device, to begin at the end of the year at Western Health, will see it attached to up to 400 pieces of medical equipment such as infusion pumps and vital signs monitors. According to a Channel 10 report, independent experts will then attempt to hack into the equipment to measure its capabilities.
