Many medical device manufacturers and healthcare institutions are working independently and collaboratively to address vulnerabilities and threats within healthcare. Building innovative tools, and allocating resources to advance cyber security is essential to not only protect medical devices and institutes but the patients that use them. It is an ongoing and growing challenge for MedTech and a shared responsibility of all stakeholders.

This event will bring together MedTech manufacturers, healthcare professionals, technical personnel, and risk and compliance professionals to reflect on the current healthcare and cyber security landscape. The program will also feature topics on:

• learning from recent data breaches;

• why cyber security should be seen as an investment, not a cost;

• building a cyber community to protect healthcare; and

• addressing future agendas on interconnectedness, interoperability, and proactive cyber risk management.

NSSN’s MedTech Theme Leader Catherine Oates-Smith will be attending this event and looks forward to connecting with industry leaders.
