The recent Webinar Wednesday presentation “Preventing Cyber Pain in Healthcare: A Comprehensive Approach to Legacy Medical Technology Security” was sponsored by Claroty. This webinar is eligible for 1 credit from the ACI. A recording is available for on-demand viewing at WebinarWednesday.live.
The IMDRF has defined a Legacy Medical Device: medical devices that cannot be reasonably protected against current cybersecurity. The Health Industry Cybersecurity-Managing Legacy Technology Security (HIC-MaLTS) is a new comprehensive resource, organized in modular, actionable components for the management of cyber-risk caused by legacy health care technologies. HIC-MaLTs has quickly become a go-to resource for CISOs, product security teams and the HTM industry.
In the webinar, presenters Ty Greenhalgh, Industry Principal for Healthcare, Medigate by Claroty, and Justin Heyl, Director, Enterprise Risk Management, Baxter International Inc., discussed cybersecurity strategies that both manufacturers and health providers can implement for legacy medical technology as a shared responsibility in the clinical environment and provide insights for designing future devices that are more secure.
They also talked about legislation and regulation that is being bantered about in an effort to secure these vulnerable network entry points.
Attendees were able to gain additional insights during an informative question-and-answer session. The Q&A is available in the on-demand recording of the webinar.
