If you're in the medical sector, you're gonna have more paperwork, that's my guess. I'm going to read through these, since I'm in the medical sector.

Looks like it elevates the network connection to almost the same standards as a physical connection, which is appropriate. These devices need to be as clean on their network as they are on their patient-facing surfaces.

And, yes, it will mean more paperwork (and more need for network and development security staff). Also introduces the term "cyber hygiene."
