The increasing connectivity of medical devices introduces new challenges for manufacturers and operators: cybersecurity issues can compromise not only data privacy but also patient safety. This webinar demonstrates how structured threat modeling can help teams systematically identify, understand, and mitigate cybersecurity risks throughout the medical device lifecycle.
We will walk through the steps of a threat-modeling workflow to illustrate how threats can be identified early, refined as the system architecture evolves, and linked to risk-reduction measures. The session highlights how threat modeling aligns with common risk-management practices in functional safety and cybersecurity, and how it can be integrated into a Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Participants will learn how focused threat analysis supports compliance with key regulatory requirements and strengthens the overall security posture of connected medical devices.
