On January 28, the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence
("NCCoE") at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology ("NIST") invited technology vendors "interested in
working on a standards-based example solution, or reference design,
to work with the center and to provide commercially available
products and services as modules in the end-to-end example
solution." Currently, NCCoE is developing example
cybersecurity solutions to shield wireless infusion pumps
delivering intravenous medication from unintentional errors or
unauthorized access. In December 2015, NCCoE released a white paper discussing the challenges and
potential solution requirements needed to better secure infusion
pumps on an enterprise network.
