However, the medical technology (MedTech) they use is in a vulnerable state. Recent years have proven this extensively, with an unprecedented number of cyberattacks targeting critical medical equipment in hospitals. Here, Neil Oliver, technical marketing manager at [professional battery manufacturer](http://accutronics.co.uk/pages/medical.html) Accutronics, explains what this means for MedTech manufacturers.** [Read More \[fa icon="long-arrow-right"\]](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/are-you-in-safe-hands) [![](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/hubfs/IMG_9322.jpg)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/the-internet-of-vulnerable-things) ## [The internet of vulnerable things](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/the-internet-of-vulnerable-things) \[fa icon="calendar"\] Apr 5, 2016 11:00:00 AM  | posted in [Cyber security](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/cyber-security) [\[fa icon="comment"\] 0 Comments](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/the-internet-of-vulnerable-things#comments-listing) **Every year in Louisville, Kentucky, hackers and security experts gather for DerbyCon.  While a get-together of hackers may sound troubling on its own, what’s truly disturbing is what came out of last year’s conference.  Medical cyber crime is on the rise, and there are thousands of critical [medical devices](http://www.accutronics.co.uk/pages/medical.html?article=31?utm_source=Stone%20Junction&utm_medium=ACC224&utm_campaign=PR) which can currently be located online and hacked directly. ** [Read More \[fa icon="long-arrow-right"\]](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/the-internet-of-vulnerable-things) ## [The WiFi wand is no magic solution](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/wifi-wand-of-medtech) \[fa icon="calendar"\] Mar 17, 2016 9:00:00 AM  | posted in [Cyber security](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/cyber-security) [\[fa icon="comment"\] 0 Comments](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/wifi-wand-of-medtech#comments-listing) Researchers at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA, recently developed a small piece of hardware that enables  [medical devices to securely connect to WiFi networks](http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~dfk/papers/abstracts/pierson-wanda.html). Due to its wand-like appearance, the system has been dubbed the magic wand of MedTech. Unfortunately, there is little that is magical about the device. While it does address the problem the medical technology (MedTech) and healthcare sectors are facing in regards to cybercrime, there is much more that needs to be done to secure medical hardware.

While cybersecurity is commonly associated with software attacks, the healthcare sector is finding that the hardware it’s employing to improve patient care is creating backdoors.** [Read More \[fa icon="long-arrow-right"\]](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/healthcare-cyber-security) [All posts](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/all) ### Subscribe to Email Updates - Recent - Popular - Categories ### Lists by Topic - [Products & Services (62)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/products-services) - [Medical industry insight (17)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/medical-industry-insight) - [Robotics (16)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/robotics) - [Manufacturing industry insight (14)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/manufacturing-industry-insight) - [Insider (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/insider) - [Military industry insight (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/military-industry-insight) - [Safety and security industry insight (9)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/safety-and-security-industry-insight) - [Cyber security (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/cyber-security) - [Exhibitions (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/exhibitions) - [Project Management (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/project-management) - [Test & Instrumentation Industry Insight (2)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/test-instrumentation-industry-insight) - [Subsea Battery Insight (1)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/subsea-battery-insight) see all ### Posts by Topic - [Products & Services (62)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/products-services) - [Medical industry insight (17)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/medical-industry-insight) - [Robotics (16)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/robotics) - [Manufacturing industry insight (14)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/manufacturing-industry-insight) - [Insider (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/insider) - [Military industry insight (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/military-industry-insight) - [Safety and security industry insight (9)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/safety-and-security-industry-insight) - [Cyber security (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/cyber-security) - [Exhibitions (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/exhibitions) - [Project Management (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/project-management) - [Test & Instrumentation Industry Insight (2)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/test-instrumentation-industry-insight) - [Subsea Battery Insight (1)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/subsea-battery-insight) see all ### Recent Posts #### About Us Ultralife Corporation is a leading provider of advanced, highest quality products and services ranging from cells, batteries, charger and power solutions to communications and electronics systems to customers across the globe in the government & defense, medical, safety & security, energy, and industrial sectors.
