AusCERT 2021 Conference - Presenter Simon Cowley
Medical devices are a regulated health technology, extensively used for the diagnostic, monitoring and treatment of patients in health services. As medical device technology advances, the capabilities and functionality of medical devices has become more digitised and interconnected. This increase in digital complexity also increases the cybersecurity risk through hardware and software vulnerabilities, along with increased exposure to network and internet-based threats.
This presentation will provide an overview of the threat landscape and risk to patient safety of insecure medical devices, dispel myths on what can and can’t be done to secure medical devices and provide practical solutions for medical device security that can be implemented at a health service.
