Description: In the past 18 months we have seen a dramatic increase in research and presentations on the security of medical devices. While this has been exciting and brought much needed attention to the issue, little has been done to help with the defense of these devices. There is a great deal of confusion on this topic due to the broad term “Medical Device”. In this presentation, we will clarify the issue, divide it into three separate categories with their own unique problems, and dispel the FUD around medical devices. Additionally, the recent GAO report published by the US Congress will prompt action by various regulatory bodies on the issue of security. These agencies are not designed to evaluate the security of embedded computers, and without guidance, will cause more problems than they will solve. This presentation will provide realistic recommendations on what can be done by regulatory agencies to bolster the defense of medical devices and highlight specific focus areas the community should be targeting with future research. This presentation will focus on what can be done by regulatory agencies to bolster the defense of medical devices as well as what the community should focus on going forward in research.
