Description: The need for top security talent in the medical device industry far exceeds the currently available pool. That means that we often welcome those outside of the industry to fill those seats. This can be a challenge both for the new hire as well as the team that they join. Working in such a highly regulated industry brings many rules that can seem both onerous and confusing. MedSec would like to help. This course is built to connect classic cybersecurity knowledge around the framework of the compliance considerations of working in the medical device industry.
Audience: This course is best suited for technical staff whose careers have not historically been in the medical device industry and would benefit from a better understanding of the regulations and best practices.
Planned Agenda:
Medical Device 101: How to navigate regulated space
Importance of documentation and process
Moving fast and making progress in a regulated environment
Pitfalls to avoid

Time: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM each day (Eastern Time)
Location: Online
Description: Standards are the backbone of any regulated industry. In some cases, they are mandatory, such as IEC 81001-5-1 in Japan. In other cases, they can be leveraged to develop processes that align with regulators’ thinking, such as AAMI TIR 57 in the US. Whatever the driver, standards help you build process and products faster and with a higher chance of success with regulators and customers. This course will review not only the content of key cybersecurity standards but also how to strategically use them.
Audience: This course is best suited for those seeking a better understanding of how to use cybersecurity standards in the medical device industry.
Planned Agenda:
How are cybersecurity standards used in the medical device industry
Medical device specific cybersecurity standards: domestic and international
General cybersecurity standards and their use
Non-standards for cybersecurity such as NIST
Useful standards from other industries such as industrial control standards
