"Bringing Windows into the architecture of any type of capital equipment control system is a bane. A scourge."

We need to go much further than this, since many people will "solve" this problem by using a different platform than Windows.

In reality, bringing networking of any type into capital equipment control systems or critical infrastructure is the bane ... the scourge.

Whatever convenience or perceived function that networking (including very local networking, like USB) is dramatically outweighed by the additional attack surface.

The issue with this is: Many of these systems need to send data to other system on the network. You'll have to send the data over some kind of PACS network, or you'll just have to use a USB.

I agree that's a "better" setup than networking, but I still don't think having staff plug random usb devices into your medical equipment is a great idea either.
