The article looks at the history of medical device security since the 1980s. It discusses major events in the history, defined by the broader systems engineering field, the advent of implantable medical devices, and the threats of unauthorized access to medical devices. Software-controlled systems, cyber threats, and patient health and privacy concerns are also covered.
