Healthcare organizations and makers of medical devices need to think about how to safeguard their critical medical gear against future cyberthreats, including the looming dangers posed by quantum computing, said Mike Nelson, global vice president of digital trust at security firm DigiCert.
“Quantum computing might not be here this year or next year, but it’s certainly coming,” Nelson said.
