Healthcare and Medical Device Cybersecurity

Presenter: Phillip Englert, VP Medical Device Security, Health-ISAC

MD Expo New England 2024

From hospitals and clinics to physician offices and increasingly the home, patient care happens on a number of levels and medical devices are threaded together in the continuum of care. Medical devices are purpose-built to provide clinical functionality. They are often limited in the cyber controls needed to protect device integrity and patient data. What are these challenges and what strategies, and countermeasures can health care employ to build resilience? How can the risks be evaluated, prioritized and managed? Join us for a guided tour that will explore technologies, techniques and countermeasures to educate and empower the audience to better understand, address, and enhance the cybersecurity of medical devices. Learn to manage the risks MedTech creates, and walk away with a practical foundation for protecting clinical functionality, healthcare delivery, data protection and patient safety.
