Security Challenges and Opportunities for Connected Medical Devices

Hugo Vincent, Principal Research Engineer, Arm Research Security Challenges and Opportunities for Connected Medical Devices While connected devices and IoT are still relatively new fields, there is already general acceptance of a set of best practices for how to secure them, as well as roadmaps across the industry to drive up the level of security achieved over time. However, medical devices can often have different risk/reward and cost sensitivities compared to many other uses for IoT. This talk will summarise industry best practices for achieving security in connected devices, relate these to the risks and benefits unique to medical devices, and explore some of the challenges and opportunities that emerge.
