Over the past few years, cybersecurity has become a major concern for medical device manufacturers (MDMs), for a number of reasons. First and foremost, medical devices are becoming connected like never before with multiple communication channels. They are becoming increasingly software-driven, with rapidly growing code bases, reliant on a complex software supply chain, consisting of […]
As vehicles have come to rely heavily on software and an increasingly complex software supply chain, the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, and security and safety standards are more critical than ever. Industry-wide recognition of automotive cybersecurity risks has pushed regulators and industry leaders to double-down on regulation. The recent adoption of UNECE WP.29 […]
Originally published on BeepingComputer, May 25, 2022 As medical devices become more connected and reliant on software, their codebase grows both in size and complexity, and they are increasingly reliant on third-party and open source software components. This forces security pros to address today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. In the hopes of helping security professionals […]
As connected products and devices become increasingly software reliant, and the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, manual and one-off security testing for devices is no longer an option. Today’s security standards and regulation demand product security teams address compliance and security throughout the entire product lifecycle – from design and development till devices’ end-of-life. […]
Medical device manufacturers (MDMs) are increasingly turning their attention towards cybersecurity, according to a recent survey of 150 senior decision-makers in the medical device industry, the Cybellum 2022 Medical Device Security Survey Report. As medical devices become exponentially more connected and reliant on software, regulators and government agencies are stepping up the pace in encouraging […]
Since the “last century”, as he puts it, Thomas Wambera has been immersed in cybersecurity for hardware, firmware, and software, mainly in the automotive industry. The veteran has been involved in a very wide range of devices and usage models from small controllers to full Level 5 autonomous vehicles. Today, as the Affiliate Business Manager […]
