Medical Equipment Cybersecurity Management: a Case Study (Room CC, 103AB)

WannaCry, Petya, and other hacking attacks across the world have brought crucial attention to the state of healthcare technology cybersecurity. At Hawaii Pacific Health, the biomedical engineering team collaborated with their information technology colleagues to develop a comprehensive strategy and process for managing cybersecurity patches and risks for all applicable medical equipment at each hospital. Learn about this successful program, along with the challenges (and solutions) related to security reviews, vendor communication and collaboration, inventory tracking and management, patch testing, and the updating of medical equipment and their integrated systems.
