Sponsored by: Cylance

Medical device security has become a much bigger concern for healthcare organizations in recent years. Vulnerable devices not only pose a risk to patients but also to organizations’ networks and systems.  

A number of initiatives are underway to identify security threats to medical devices and deploy strategies and technologies to combat malicious interference with this key component of the healthcare infrastructure.  

From the FDA to the multi-stakeholder Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council (HSCC), experts from across the industry agree that collaboration and proactive preparation are vital for maintaining the security of devices.  

In his presentation, HSCC Cybersecurity Executive Director Greg Garcia will provide an assessment of the current state of medical device cybersecurity, as well as efforts to improve medical device cybersecurity and emerging technologies to help organizations stay ahead of cybersecurity risk.
