  • MSSI Seminar: Nick Yuran of Harbor Labs Monday, October 7th, 2024 @ 11:00 am - 11:50 am Gilman 132

    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.

    Nick Yuran served 11 years as an intelligence analyst before entering private industry, and applies his experiences in national security policy to the cyber disciplines he manages at Harbor Labs. As a serial entrepreneur, Nick has led several companies to successful exits, including companies in the satellite, enterprise networking, and cybersecurity markets. His most recent exit was the merger of medical IoT cybersecurity technology company, and he remains a strong industry advocate for medical security regulatory policies. Nick holds a BA in Slavic Languages from the University of Arizona, and a MA in Telecommunications from George Washington University.
