ABOUT THE WEBINAR
With the rise of sophisticated technologies and software used in connected medical devices, manufacturers are now working vigorously to implement additional safeguards to minimize cybersecurity risks. Until recently, medical device companies haven’t planned a comprehensive security program that takes into account the security of the software for the duration of the lifecycle; however, the FDA has recently encouraged medical device manufacturers to collaborate with ethical hackers, those who uncover and rectify vulnerabilities and flaws, to assist in the development and ongoing management of devices which minimize security flaws. While there is no “one size fits all” solution to device cybersecurity, industry professionals will benefit from a greater understanding of common challenges associated with connected medical devices and solutions for fixing them. This presentation will focus on the following cybersecurity related areas:
- The elements of a comprehensive security program
- Overcoming the hidden costs of insecure legacy devices
- Implementing effective vulnerability management
- Information sharing beyond regulatory expectations
