# What is medical device cybersecurity?

Medical device cybersecurity is the practice of protecting connected medical devices, and the software inside them, from vulnerabilities and attacks that could affect patient safety or device availability. For manufacturers it now spans the full product lifecycle: proving security at submission (for example, under FDA §524B) and maintaining it after the device is on the market. In practice that means knowing every software component you ship, tracking new vulnerabilities against it, and keeping evidence current.
