摘要

Third-party acquisitions, whether through mergers, partnerships, or vendor integrations, are essential for innovation and growth. But strategic acquisitions often introduce significant cybersecurity risks that can compromise both operational integrity and patient safety. This chapter delves into the hidden vulnerabilities that accompany third-party acquisitions, including inherited technical debt, misaligned security postures, opaque systems as well and vendor dependencies. Accordingly, this chapter outlines a comprehensive approach to risk assessment and mitigation, emphasizing due diligence, cybersecurity audits, and integration planning. The goal is to empower stakeholders to make informed decisions that protect enterprise value while enabling secure collaboration and innovation in the medical technology ecosystem.
