1. A method for improving cybersecurity of an operating room, comprising:
at an operating room (OR) hub storing patient data and coupled to one or more medical devices in the operating room, the one or more medical devices comprising an imaging device:
preventing a user from interacting with the imaging device until the user is authenticated through an operations user interface (UI) during a surgical procedure on a patient;
permitting, via the operations UI, a medical practitioner having an operator credential to perform a plurality of permitted software functions comprising operating the imaging device via the OR hub to capture an image or video of the patient during the surgical procedure, storing the image or video of the patient in a case file, and transmitting at least a portion of the case file to an external device via a preconfigured network connection, but preventing the medical practitioner from changing one or more imaging device access privileges of the OR hub, changing the preconfigured network connection, and changing the plurality of permitted software functions;
permitting, via the operations UI, a hospital network administrator having an administrator credential to change the operator credential of the medical practitioner, access audit logs comprising information related to usage of the permitted software functions including metadata generated at the OR hub based on user interactions with the operations UI, and change the preconfigured network connection, but preventing the hospital network administrator from changing the plurality of permitted software functions; and
permitting a hub software developer having a developer credential to configure the plurality of permitted software functions, wherein the operations UI is configured to prevent any hospital personnel having the operator credential or the administrator credential from altering the metadata generated at the OR hub based on user interactions with the operations UI.
