The Transition to Zero-Trust Architecture
In 2026, the traditional "perimeter" security model (the idea that everything inside a hospital's Wi-Fi is safe) is considered obsolete. Healthcare organizations have shifted to a Zero-Trust Architecture, where no device—whether it’s a high-tech MRI or a simple smart bed—is trusted by default.
Every IoMT device must now prove its identity through digital certificates before it can communicate with the network. If a device like an infusion pump begins to behave strangely (e.g., trying to access a financial server), the system automatically "quarantines" it in real-time. This prevents a single compromised device from becoming an entry point for a hospital-wide ransomware attack.
