Abstract: Clinical medical devices and healthcare IT systems have been profoundly affected by an evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. As federal regulators and the healthcare industry have worked together to address these threats, a new category of cybersecurity science has emerged, one that combines cybersecurity disciplines, medical science, and regulatory science to create a new breed of cybersecurity professional. This presentation will examine the unique status of medical systems in the realm of cybersecurity, their common attack surfaces, and the challenges involved in safeguarding these systems. The future of the medical cybersecurity market will be discussed, along with the rapidly expanding career opportunities for cybersecurity professionals in this field.

Seminar topic TBD.
