Presentation Title: Security Risk Management Throughout the Medical Device Lifecycle

Abstract: As the need for utilization of AI/ML algorithms for medical devices increases to improve the quality of life of patients so does the need for connectivity and interoperability for these medical devices.  The technologies used to improve the quality of life and user experience of these devices also increase the attack surfaces for potential exploitation by bad actors to harm patients, manufacturers, and health delivery organizations. These cybersecurity vulnerabilities should be identified and mitigated using secure by design principles during the development of the product and security risk managed during the post-market phase of the product lifecycle.

Cybersecurity

For medical device manufacturers, technology can be a double-edged sword.

With a well-planned design, along with full visibility of product development and the supply chain, RCA can help strengthen your device’s cybersecurity posture throughout.
