The Latest Ed TALKS

Premieres: June 21, 2023 at 12 pm EST / 9 am PST

On top of the usual threats inherent to IT networks, applications, and cloud services, the complexity of medical devices creates a massive and distributed attack surface. Compounding the challenge are long-life expectancy and 3rd party dependency. Attend this panel to hear healthcare security experts discuss the anatomy of medical devices, how to design them with human safety in mind, and how to make a shared security responsibility model a reality.
