Defining Requirements for AI Enabled Medical Devices: What Next in Cybersecurity and Supplier Relations?

Synopsis

Building safe and trustworthy AI systems in the medical device industry, covering essential questions, regulatory expectations, and quality considerations. Through practical examples and a template-based case study, participants will learn how to lead AI decision-making in healthcare, understand global regulatory landscapes, and address key quality considerations for AI-enabled devices. The session aims to equip participants with cross-functional critical thinking techniques, risk-based approaches, and specific regulatory questions essential for AI model development and deployment in a healthcare context. In the second half of the workshop, we will be exploring agentic AI for mitigating cybersecurity risks.

Part 1: Defining Requirements for AI Enabled Medical Devices.

  • Requirements for AI enabled medical devices. Supplier selection best practices

Part 2: Agentic Artificial Intelligence for Mitigating Cybersecurity Risks.

  • Automated vulnerability monitoring and handling via Agentic AI systems and other Automated tools

Optimizing Adaptable Threat Modelling Strategies in Cybersecurity to Enhance Protection of Medical Devices

  • Rachel Michelson Senior Product Security Engineer, Bracco Medical Technologies

Synopsis

Threat modelling is an ever-evolving challenge due to the constantly evolving threat landscapes. With the rise of advanced technologies our capabilities to accurately predict how an attacker might exploit vulnerabilities demands continuous refinement. It appears technological advancement is always two steps ahead of our threat modelling methods. It also involves optimal cross-functional collaboration throughout the security development lifecycle to consistently maintain and apply threat models.

Highlights include:

  • Integrating advanced analytics for proactive threat identification
  • Balancing automation and human expertise in threat modelling
  • Case study-based insights into threat modelling frameworks and practices to curate effective solutions to overcome threats.
