Security is less about technology than it is about education and having a plan. Ernest Staats will start by defining what we mean by the “Internet of Medical Things.” He will then look at how medical devices are discovered, and leveraged by hackers, answer questions such as, “What is the value of medical devices?” and, “Why would someone hack them?”

The majority of this session will focus on strategies one can take to help create better security for medical devices that can connect to the external networks/internet. We will go over steps one can take to limit their security risk. Then we look into the steps you can take to monitor/alert because your security posture is only as good as your response time.
