The digitalization of the medical industry and medical devices creates countless opportunities for improving patient care. The requirement: Cybersecurity must be guaranteed so that medical devices are not vulnerable to hacker attacks or pose other risks. Cybersecurity includes the medical devices themselves, but also their interfaces to other products or databases (e.g. in hospitals) as well as companies and their IT infrastructures.

 

In BVMed’s online seminar, the speakers Miriam Schulze (CEO BAYOOMED), Sebastian Wittor (Project Manager BAYOOMED) and Jan Küfner (TÜV SÜD Product Service) provide insights regarding the cyber security of medical devices. They put the topic in the context of certification and placement on the EU market.
