Most leaders in medical technology know cybersecurity is crucial. Here's how to transform it into a robust defense strategy: STEP 1 - Assess Your Vulnerabilities Identify where your data might be exposed Conduct regular risk assessments Example: Use penetration testing to find weak spots STEP 2 - Strengthen Your Safeguards Implement advanced encryption for data at rest and in transit Use multi-factor authentication everywhere Example: Deploy biometric security measures STEP 3 - Foster a Culture of Security Make cybersecurity part of everyday conversations Offer ongoing training and support Example: Monthly security newsletters and quizzes STEP 4 - Plan for Incidents Develop a comprehensive incident response plan Regularly update and test your recovery procedures Example: Simulate a breach to test responses STEP 5 - Engage with Experts Consult with cybersecurity experts regularly Stay updated on the latest security trends and technologies Example: Attend cybersecurity conferences and workshops The result? Not only will your company protect sensitive medical data, but it will also build trust with patients and partners, reinforcing your reputation as a secure and reliable leader in the medical technology industry.

Completed a workshop on Building an Effective Detection and Response Program. Key take away from the workshop Key Detection Capabilities - Understanding your ability to detect when some thing is happening and being able to deal with it is the critical capabilities in your cyber tool kit. - Profile Networks and Systems (expected vs unusual activity) - Understand Normal Behaviors (a baseline behavior of users to easily recognize them from bad behaviors) - Create a Log Retention Policy (for analysis) - Perform Event Correlation (use SIEM's) - Keep All Host clocks Synchronized - Seek Assistance from Others (internal or external resources) - NIST Special Publication 800-61 Rev 2 Computer Security Incident Handling Guide - Every organization in today’s digital world experiences cyber incidents such as network intrusion, information leaks, and data breaches. The response to these incidents needs a structured process and security tools to quickly and safely extract evidence to identify how the intruders gained access to the system and what information they accessed. - Key Response Capabilities - Your definition of an incident - Incident Prioritization - Functional Impact - Information Impact - Recoverability Effort - Different Reaction, Different Levels - Minor - Serious - Major - Board Escalating - Get outside help (FBI, CISA, MSSP.,)
