Connected Medical Device & IOT Security Summit

Introduction – Why Attend the Summit Cybersecurity is not about human stupidity, random vulnerabilities, or technical exploits. Those are symptoms. The malignancy we face are multitudes of intelligent, cooperative and ambitious bad actors. There is a gray market, and a black market for zero-day exploits, ranging from $10,000 for Windows antivirus local privilege escalation bugs to $1.5 Million for an IOS remote jailbreak. Commercial software attacks can pivot against devices, and exploited devices can be used to launch attacks on Hospital infrastructure. The black side of cyber security is an evolving and competitive industry that must be understood before it can be effectively countered and defeated. Healthcare’s security challenge is growing exponentially as technologies such as Connected Health and IoT create a vast attack surface. Integrated Hospitals expose their systems to multitudes of hazards that stand-alone devices were never designed for. Personalized Medicine generates extraordinarily sensitive data, and Value Based Care models and Population Health aggregate more and more PHI so Big Data’s solutions can deliver vital quality and performance improvements. These innovations are saving countless lives, but must not be at the price of privacy or safety. Healthcare’s diverse stakeholders and complex regulations do not make the work of cyber defense easier. Implanted devices are challenging to recall post-market. Many legacy devices cannot be patched while in u...
