In their Medical Design & Outsourcing byline, Medcrypt’s Chief Security Strategist Axel Wirth and VP of Regulatory Strategy Naomi Schwartz explain why medical device manufacturers (MDMs) must begin preparing for a post-quantum world. As quantum computing advances, today’s encryption standards will eventually be rendered obsolete — posing serious risks to patient safety and regulatory compliance.
Axel and Naomi emphasize that waiting until NIST finalizes its post-quantum standards could leave organizations scrambling. Instead, MDMs should start assessing cryptographic assets, mapping dependencies, and building migration roadmaps now. The article offers practical, forward-looking guidance to help device makers adapt securely and efficiently.
Published in Medical Design & Outsourcing, a leading industry resource for medtech engineers and executives, this byline reinforces Medcrypt’s leadership at the intersection of cybersecurity, regulation, and innovation, showcasing the company’s proactive stance on preparing the industry for next-generation security challenges.
