The security of biomedical devices is a critical challenge for healthcare systems because it is often a shared responsibility among IT, clinical engineering, procurement, and compliance departments. This forum will feature a panel discussion on topics including:
- The obligations of manufacturers to secure biomedical devices against cybersecurity threats.
- How efforts to secure devices are coordinated between device manufacturers, procurement and health system departments.
- The biggest challenges for clinical engineering and IT staff in securing devices.
- Who is liable if a device is hacked? How do you even know if there was a breach of data?
The program also includes interactive small table discussions on these topics:
- Given that device security is a problem that can never be 100% fixed, what are your risk mitigation strategies against a hack or data breach?
- How well coordinated are the departments in your healthcare system to manage biomedical devices? How can you improve the process?
- What type of information do providers need from manufacturers in order to determine the risk levels and to design compensating controls? Would a software BOM help?
