How are the cybersecurity environment and events today shaping the way technology is developed?

Cybersecurity has moved from being an after-thought in the design process to being an essential part. As an example, medical devices now need to address security as part of the design process and need to consider whether the system will collect, store or transmit patient data and if the device will be integrated into a hospital or clinic IT system. Medical devices must secure data and ensure that they do not provide a backdoor into any integrated system.
