Modelo de seguridad informática para la evaluación de dispositivos biomédicos

Abstract

The present thesis proposes a Computer Security Model designed specifically for the assessment of biomedical devices. In a context where interconnection and digitization in the healthcare sector are increasingly common, the security of biomedical devices becomes a critical concern that must be addressed following industry best practices. This model is based on an integrative approach that combines information security principles with specific requirements of medical devices, addressing both technological and regulatory aspects. The research employed a qualitative methodological approach that included literature review, data collection, data analysis, and assessment of cybersecurity risks. The results highlight the importance of implementing proactive and specific measures to mitigate risks and ensure the confidentiality of information in biomedical devices, thereby safeguarding patient privacy. This model not only provides a practical guide for institutions needing guidelines in their biomedical equipment procurement processes but also contributes to advancing knowledge in the field of computer security in biomedical devices in Colombia.
