Addressing Gaps in Medical Device Security - White Paper

In healthcare organizations today, medical devices are increasingly being targeted, and proving susceptible to attack. These medical devices can contain sensitive medical and payment information, and they can provide capabilities for monitoring and controlling patient health—so they represent vital assets.

By establishing a secure code-signing infrastructure, medical device manufacturers can address a range of security gaps, and a significant market demand. This paper reveals why code signing is so vital today, and it offers insights into:

• Evolving technologies and threats in healthcare
• Vulnerabilities in medical devices being exposed
• Opportunity: importance of code signing in addressing medical device vulnerabilities
• Secure keys - the foundation of a secure code signing environment
• The role of HSMs in a secure code signing environment
