Closing the Software Loophole: How to Mitigate Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in Medical Devices

February 17, 2021 | Posted by Jason Smith

Is your team prepared for cybersecurity threats and the evolving focus from the FDA? Most medical device manufacturers and software teams find this topic uncomfortable - and rightly so. Many of us haven't been trained with the right knowledge, skills, and approach needed for embedded cybersecurity.

Join Parasoft and Velentium on Feb. 25th for a lively panel discussion with experts as they discuss cybersecurity and best practices for eliminating or mitigating software-based vulnerabilities. Panelists are:

VP of regulatory strategy at MedCrypt and former FDA cybersecurity program manager for medical devices Seth Carmody
Christopher Gates, Director of Product Security at Velentium and a principal author of Medical Device Cybersecurity for Engineers and Manufacturers,
Sat Ketkar, Velentium's Director of Systems Engineering and a contributor to the forthcoming multi-volume textbook series Realizing Complex Integrated Systems
Moderator David Hauck, VP of Embedded Sales at Parasoft

Topics to be addressed include:

Root causes and threats in the medical device industry
Cybersecurity: not just a technology issue
Best practices for cybersecurity and risk management
The roles engineers and manufacturers play in cybersecurity
Software testing solutions that help remedy vulnerabilities
