2016 IEEE EnCON

Medical device security is a system property that has traditionally not been designed into many medical device systems. Implementing security controls has meant not implementing something else that customers want, but as medical systems become more capable, abusing them becomes more attractive. Recent attacks have showed a level of sophistication which could serve as a blueprint for medical device attacks. Attendees will learn the motivations behind cybercrime targeting medical systems, how malware might be extended to medical devices, a methodology to address the threats, and how to optimize resources through system engineering.
