Connected Device & IoT Security Summit

The Connected Medical Device & IOT Security Summit, to be held on November 8-9, 2017 in Baltimore, will offer practical solutions to many of the daunting security challenges facing medical device and connected health technology companies, healthcare providers, payers and patients. 

Healthcare providers and medical device companies are currently facing ever growing financial, legal, operational, and patient safety challenges as a result of cybersecurity threats. Malware attacks are evolving and becoming more sophisticated, while preventable privacy breaches are becoming more common in all industries across the globe.

The fall in the black market price of stolen data along with improvements in “Black Hat” customer service implies we are facing a mature, evolving, and resilient enemy. As connections grow and devices move out of the hospital into patients’ homes and to geographically distributed providers, new threats, new vulnerabilities, attack surfaces, and hazards are created that go far beyond the typical concerns of stand-alone components.

The Summit will bring together healthcare, medical device, and security experts to offer a unique complete end-to-end perspective on the cybersecurity environment – from the economics and motivations of ransomware authors to the needs of the patient. Supporting organizations of the Summit include the American College of Clinical Engineering, INCOSE and The Society for Participatory Medicine.
