MDIC MedTech Cybersecurity Summit

September 12, 2022, JW Marriott, Washington DC

Managing cybersecurity in healthcare is a shared responsibility. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the arrival of the digital era in many aspects of global healthcare and so has the need for addressing cybersecurity concerns associated with medical devices and healthcare delivery. Medical device manufacturers and healthcare delivery organizations are now working independently and collaboratively in pre-competitive space to address cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats. Recent efforts from the FDA and its global counterparts confirm the need to tackle cybersecurity with a multipronged approach. Public-private partnerships such as MDIC convene stakeholders to build innovative tools and resources to advance the cybersecurity of medical devices and healthcare delivery organizations. MDIC MedTech Cybersecurity Summit attendees will have the chance to learn about the global cybersecurity landscape by interacting with senior thought leaders from FDA and the private sector.

This event will be held in person at the JW Marriott Washington, DC located at: 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, District of Columbia, USA, 20004.

MDIC is also hosting Annual Public Forum at same venue on September 13, 2022. To learn more visit Annual Public Forum.

Improving Penetration Testing Practices in MedTech: Panel Discussion

Penetration testing has become an essential required practice by regulatory agencies as evidence to validate security controls and adequately resist modern attack methods under simulated real-world conditions. However, the practices of how to scope, resource, execute, respond, and report to penetration tests still lack maturity. The panel will discuss current state along with providing status and a preview of an MDIC effort to capture medical device penetration testing best practices.
