GoKawiilForescout finds most healthcare devices lack post-quantum encryption readiness
Forescout Technologies analyzed roughly 2.5 million devices across more than 50 healthcare organizations and found widespread gaps in support for post-quantum cryptography. Only about half of IT devices supported SSH implementations capable of PQC, versus 16% of operational technology and just 6% of Internet of Medical Things devices such as patient monitors and insulin pumps. The firm also found over 5,500 Internet-reachable systems holding medical records and imaging data, only 31% of which used TLS 1.3, the protocol needed for current PQC standards.
