Coordinated by MDIC, the workgroup will develop a white paper on key elements of the application of penetration testing to medical devices.  Examples of topics to be considered: 

• Relationship of penetration testing to software and device validation activities. 
• When do tools used in penetration need to be validated. 
• What are best practices for pen testing, including when and how often it should be performed? 
• How can penetration testers be driven by threat scenarios? 
• How should the results from a penetration test be treated for device correction and improvement?
