There is no shortage of discussion about the risks that inadequate cybersecurity poses to today's healthcare ecosystem. While increasingly prevalent connected devices offer many advantages to patients and clinicians alike, hackers can potentially exploit their vulnerabilities for malicious purposes.

With connected devices here to stay, why do MedTech manufacturers and healthcare providers consistently struggle with security, and how can this situation be improved? In this forum, we will explore how primary stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem can develop and leverage devices in a way that provides tighter security against the threat of cyberattacks. Cybersecurity can be daunting and may seem elusive yet, with a holistic approach, it is possible.

Jarman Joerres, Co-Founder of MedAcuity, will be the keynote speaker. He will be joined by a panel of multidisciplinary experts who will explore the root causes of exposure, the implications, and potential risk mitigations that can be employed to prevent patient and business harm. There will also be an interactive audience Q&A.
