Critical Medical Devices Unable to Support PQC Transition
Forescout research found that only 6% of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices and 16% of medical operational technology (OT) systems can support post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The low readiness indicates most medical devices will require replacement or major updates to transition from traditional cryptography before quantum computers threaten current encryption standards.
Why it matters: Healthcare delivery organizations and medical device manufacturers need to assess legacy device lifecycles and budget for upgrades, as the majority of connected medical infrastructure cannot adopt PQC defenses and will remain exposed to future quantum threats.
